Peacefmonline.com can confirm that lawyers for businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome have filed two applications at the Supreme Court seeking a review of an earlier decision by the apex court that would have allowed ex-Attorney-General, Martin Amidu, to cross examine the former over a controversial ¢51 million judgment debt paid him [Woyome] in 2010.
With the two applications filed at the Supreme Court, one is praying the highest court of the land to review the ruling of the court presided over by Justice Enin Yeboah a week ago.
On November 16, 2016, Justice Enin Yeboah ruled that Mr Amidu can orally examine Mr Woyome on issues relating to the controversial ¢51 million given to the latter and how the state can retrieve the money paid to him
This was after the Attorney General, who had initially applied for same, surprisingly made a u-turn by discontinuing the process to examine him.
The writ a copy of which is the possession of PEACEFMONLINE reads: "TAKE NOTICE that counsel for and on behalf of the applicant herein will move this honorable court praying for an order for the reversal of the ruling dated 16th November 2016 of His Lordship Anin Yeboah JSC sitting as a single justice in the afore-mentioned case."
The second application, on the other hand is a request for a stay of proceedings to enable the court determine the motion for review.
A stay of proceedings is a ruling by the court in civil and criminal procedure, halting further legal process in a trial or other legal proceedings.
The writ thus pitches both the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Martin Amidu, in one corner as defendants in the case.
For now, it is obvious the highly-anticipated November 24th showdown between the self-confessed NDC financier and the citizen vigilante, perhaps his biggest arch-enemy; billed for the Supreme Court seems hanging, at least for the time being, with the questioning of the propriety of Justice Anin Yeboah's ruling.

I think for peace to prevail, this comment session of news should be closed since most people use it to insult others. God help GH!
Walayi, herh u no want pay? U go pay ooo. Kw3
this is just to buy time with the elections only a few days ahead. why dont they write to the supreme to court postpone the oral examination until after the elections instead of hiding their cr1m1nal faces behind the law. the invisible hands behind this woyome saga will soon be revealed. we know them and they know themselves but soon it will be on records officially. Mr Amidu said it, the only way to retrieve this woyome money is to change this corrupt and incompetent govt otherwise we shd forget it. as far as they remain in power they will frustrate the process to get justice with this woyome issue bcos they are part of it. change is already here.
What are you running from? I thought you are a man!
The Great Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata,,is about to exposed Justice anim Yeboah ,,and Justice dotse big time and teach them law'.Justice Ayim Yeoah was accused by tsikata on Hot issues hoisted by prat ,,that his judgements are pro npp,,and indeed he called justice ***barred word*** abban to jailed him.Justice Anim YEboah hates ewes and muslims tooooo uch,,even more than nana addo.As for martin Amidu,,,pain skin ..skin pain,,,go kill am.
Hon. Amidu issues a statement that the show will be stopped by mr. presido,and truely less than 24 hours to showtime a court action is trigered to terminate same.meaning hon. Amidu has a friend who is mr. presido's friend in high places who is an informant. Hallelluya. check your cabinet oooo.hmmmm
Amidu did not know that he is dealing with a die hard voltarian who doesn't give up. Do you that one man who has been able to use the court to receive 51 million debt due him would sit down idle for someone without locus in this case to interview him, you must be joking. Kweku baako and kwamena dancun can now dance the more. Woyome is not an ignoramus, he is extremely smart.
First they sent the deputy AG to come and tell Ghanaians they won't seek a review. Then they ask Woyome to file for a review, so the public's attention is deflected towards Woyome. And they chose the 23rd to do so; not 20th, 21st or 22nd, or even a day or two after the permiision was granted Martin Amidu. The idea is to push the timing over the election period as much as possible, to prevent any fallouts. But the more they scheme, the more the Ghanaian people get convinced of the create loot and share foundation of this case. And boy, the more we get poised to vote them out on December 7!
Mr. Woyome: 'the slap that is near you is quickly received'. This your tactics will not work. Just pay the money back. Fiafitor!
Wosuro enti na wadodge!!!
