None is above the Law – AG justifies search of former BoG Governor’s home

Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Ayine has denied claims of a raid at former Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Ernest Addison's home. He stated that the operation was a lawful search with a court-issued warrant.

During a press conference in Accra on March 24, Dr. Ayine stressed that no one is above the law. He noted that such legal procedures are not unusual.

He shared his own experience from July 2017. Armed officials visited his house with a warrant for an investigation related to the Ameri Deal. He did not call it a raid at that time.

Dr. Ayine questioned why the recent search at Dr. Addison’s home was labeled differently. He asked why his experience was not described as a raid.

He also revealed that he personally obtained the legal authorization for the search. "I applied for the warrant and got it issued by the High Court," he said, emphasizing that none is above the law.
