Persons present at the hearing of the ongoing Election Petition at the Supreme Court on Monday were cracked up with laughter after one of the panel Judges, Justice Samuel Marful-Sau advised counsel for the 2nd Respondent, Akoto Ampaw, to stop using his wig because it has lost its identity.

Justice Marful-Sau immediately after Lawyer Akoto Ampaw had just finished his submission in opposition to a motion by the petitioner to reopen his case gave his advice.

 “Mr. Akoto Ampaw, I think you have to change your wig, it has lost its identity as a wig,” the Judge said throwing the entire courtroom into laughter.

Mr. Ampaw took off his ‘old’ wig from his head, looked at it and put it back on his head and in response said  “My Lord, it gives it a unique identity”, he said.

Meanwhile, the hearing has been adjourned to Tuesday, February 16, 2021, for the court to rule on whether or not to allow the Petitioner to reopen his case.
