Prof Aning, Imani files suit at Supreme Court to restrain Mahama from removing IGP, other security heads

Professor Kwesi Aning has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court seeking to prevent President John Mahama from dismissing the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and other key security officials. The legal action arises amidst discussions about the potential removal of these officials if Mahama were to win the upcoming presidential election. Aning argues that such actions could undermine the integrity and stability of Ghana's security services.

In his suit, Professor Aning contends that any attempts by Mahama to replace these leaders would disrupt the continuity and operational effectiveness of the country's security apparatus. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining experienced leadership within these institutions, especially in times of political transition. The case reflects ongoing concerns regarding political influence on national security and highlights the need for judicial intervention to safeguard institutional integrity.
