The Attorney-General has dropped all charges against Dr. Ernest Thompson, the former Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), and three others involved in a high-profile case over alleged financial mismanagement.
Court documents filed at the High Court (Criminal Division) in Accra show that the case against Dr. Thompson, John Hagan Mensah, and Peter Hayibor has been officially discontinued. The decision, signed by Director of Public Prosecutions Yvonne Atakora Obuobisa, cited legal provisions under the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960, as the basis for the withdrawal.
This marks the end of a long-running legal battle that was initiated under the previous government, aiming to hold the accused accountable for alleged financial losses to the state. With the charges now dropped, Dr. Thompson and the other accused have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Their legal teams, including Samuel Codjoe, Anis Moghtar Mohayideen, and D.K. Ameley, have been officially notified of the decision, bringing an end to the controversial case.
