A LEGAL action brought against Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the 2012 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, by Justice Francis Yaonasu Kpegah, has been struck out by an Accra Motions Court. The case of Justice Kpegah, who was reeling in pain as he was supported to the courtroom, was thrown out for lack of evidence. The retired justice�s action, according to the court, was vexatious, unmeritorious and frivolous. The court, presided over by Justice Cecilia Hanson Sowah, struck out Justice Kpegah�s case in which he was suing Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for impersonation of a certain William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo when it ruled on a preliminary objection raised in the case by lawyers for the NPP candidate. The trial judge indicated in the ruling that the retired Supreme Court justice failed to plead facts to the allegation in order to get a grounded case.
