 By [Sunsetcrew]   The one-year anniversary of Javits Frimpong’s arrival in the United States was marked not with celebration , but with a father’s grief. On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the 15-year-old had completed exactly twelve months since leaving Ghana to build a new life with his father in the Bronx. By the next morning, that life was over—ended by a burst of gunfire on a residential street, just blocks from the apartment he shared with his father and the school where he was a tenth-grade student.   A Morning Walk, An Ambush   Shortly before 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 29, Javits was walking to DreamYard Preparatory School, an 18-minute commute he made daily. Near the intersection of East 171st Street and Third Avenue in the Claremont neighborhood, surveillance footage captured a chilling scene: the teenager sprinting for his life, pursued by a figure dressed entirely in black.

President Mahama Initiates Process for Potential Removal of Chief Justice, Forwarding Petitions to Council of State



President Mahama has taken a significant step in the legal process by forwarding three petitions seeking the removal of the Chief Justice to the Council of State for consultation. This action is in strict adherence to Article 146 of Ghana's 1992 Constitution, which outlines the procedure for the removal of a Chief Justice.

The petitions, which contain allegations against the Chief Justice, have now entered a critical phase of review. The Council of State, an advisory body to the President, is mandated by the constitution to provide counsel on matters of national importance, including the removal of high-ranking officials.

Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution specifies the steps involved in the removal of a Chief Justice or other Justices of the Superior Court. The process begins with a petition to the President, who then refers the matter to the Council of State for consultation. Following the Council's advice, the President may then forward the petition to the Chief Justice, who is given the opportunity to respond.



The petitions' specific contents and the nature of the allegations have not been publicly disclosed, but they have triggered a process that could have significant implications for the judiciary. The Council of State's consultation is a crucial step in ensuring transparency and fairness in the handling of these serious matters.

"The President's action is in line with the constitutional requirements," stated a source close to the Presidency. "He is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that due process is followed."

The Council of State will now examine the petitions and provide its advice to the President. This advice will play a pivotal role in determining the next steps in the process. The public is keenly observing the developments, recognizing the sensitivity and importance of this matter.

The process underscores the constitutional mechanisms in place to ensure accountability and integrity within the judiciary. The outcome of the Council of State's consultations and the subsequent actions taken by the President will be closely watched, as they will have significant implications for the administration of justice in Ghana.
