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.

'OYIWA"!. Martin Amidu said the President will push Woyome to order for a review and fear this showdown may not come off. The CREATE, LOOT & SHARE company will do everything to let Woyome off the hook, but the GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA will for sure VOTE Mahama out and take the money from them. CHANGE IS COMING!
THE DISGRACE WILL BE MORE SERIOUSE WHEN MAHAMA LEAVES OFFICE. BY ALL MEANS THEY WILL VOMIT THE MONEY SO THE EARLIER THE BETTER.
WOYOME LIKE MOST NDC PEOPLE COME INTO POLITICS AS POOR AS MASALACHI MOUSE AND IN A FEW MONTHS TIME BECOME MILLIONAIRES AND BILLIONAIRES. BARAWO MAHAMA AND HIS GANG OF NDC JULOR GO INTO POLITICS JUST FOR ONE THING: STEEL GHANA MONEY. PLEASE GHANA PEOPLE LET'S VOTE BARAWO MAHAMA AND HIS GANG OF JULOR OUT IN DECEMBER. INSHA ALLAHU!!!
Hay hay hay hay Martin amidu coming like kakai, coming events cast their shadows......
OYIWA !! Mr. Amidu released a statement yesterday with the heading " MARK MY WORDS, PREZ MAHAMA WILL DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO BLOCK ME FROM EXAMINING WOYOME".... Prophet Amidu, I know believe you have more information concerning this GhC 51 million hence the earthquake from the Presidency to the last beneficiary! No matter what they do, CRIME has no Expiry date as Ogyam has said. They will be disgrace in office or out of office for dupping Ama Ghana. God is watching
ahhh, am not surprise bcos Martin Amidu said Mahama will prevent the meet ur meeter showdown
Wayome should be offered a compromise sentence to enable him name the big men involved in the chop chop. The guy is having sleepless nights. Martin Amidu is coming like Kakai both physical and in Wayome's dreams.
Well, crime has no expiry date, so says the PPP guy. He could not have refused to mention the names because it is an open secret. The names are in a public domain.
