A seven-member panel who sat on the case challenging the decision of President John Mahama whether or not their transfer is legal for them to stay in the country adjourned the case.
Justice Atuguba who chaired the panel said Articles 83 and 75 were in conflict in relation to the case.

According to him, if Ghana enters into an agreement with international bodies, it cannot walk away because it affects its internal security.
The panel has, therefore, asked the parties to address the court based on Articles 83 and 75 by May 24, 2017 for them to deliver their judgement.
Two Ghanaians, Margaret Banful and Henry Nana Boakye subsequently filed a suit against the then Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, and Minister of Interior on the relocation of Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammed Salih Al-Dhuby in Ghana without seeking parliamentary approval.
The two ex-detainees: Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby, arrived in Ghana on Thursday January 7, 2016 for a two-year stay as part of a deal reached between the United States of America and the Government of Ghana.

Their presence caused huge public outcry as many felt the government was treading on dangerous grounds by bringing people suspected to have been terrorists into the country.
The detainees have, however, expressed their profound happiness by the government’s decision to admit them into the country.
