MD Of Ecobank Ghana, 2 Others Cited For Contempt Of Court

The Managing Director of Ecobank Ghana Limited, Mr. Daniel Sackey, has been cited for contempt of Court by an Accra High Court.

Two managing staff of the Pan-African bank, the Head of the Legal Department of Ecobank Ghana, Ewuraa Abena Asafo-Boakye, and the Mr. William Asamoah-Otoo, also from the Legal Department of the bank were also slapped with the same offense.

This follows an order of the High Court for a substituted service of an application for committal to prison for contempt of court to be served on the three.

A Court bailiff had on three occasions, attempted to serve the three with the application for committal to prison for contempt of court filed on December 14, 2021, by Thaddeus Sory, lawyer for Mr. Daniel Ofori, all to no avail.

As a result of that, an application for substituted service was moved before the Court on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, by Tsatsu Tsikata who appeared with Nana Boakye, for Mr. Ofori.

Affidavit of Mr. Ofori filed in support of the application for committal to prison for contempt of Court, a writ of fi-fa from the High Court was pasted on the Head Office building of Ecobank Ghana Limited on November 26, 2021, in enforcement of orders of the Supreme Court.

This writ of fi-fa was however, removed by Mr. William Asamoah-Otoo at the alleged instance of Mr. Dan Sackey and Ewura Abena Asafo-Boakye immediately after being pasted on the Head Office building of the Pan-African bank.
