Justice Victor Ofoe, President of the Association called on the police to “arrest and bring to normalcy the situation for peace loving Ghanaians to go about their lawful duties.”

“Such acts are a threat and intimidation of the members of the judiciary. It should be most gratifying for us, and of course all Ghanaians, that all involved will be apprehended and dealt with according to law,” he said.

The judges’ condemnation follows a similar one by the Ghana Bar Association in which they criticised the attack as sickening.
