Oti Bless is on record questioning the actions of the Chief Justice during the 2012 election petition hearing on Montie FM together with the jailed Montie trio.

Oti Bless allegedly made those comments on the same day Alistair Nelson and Ako Gunn also made threatening comments against the court. He said “Today we have a CJ who because of a Political favour done her, will do anything to help the NPP. It is an agenda. The electoral commission should stop working and give it to Georgina Woode. And we have a whole CJ, look at how old you are; you have kids and grandchildren and yet you are at the Court doing politics; you deliberately appoint NPP Judges to do politics and scheme with NPP to give biassed rulings. Are you not calling for war? Are you not calling for civil war? Are you not destroying this country?”

In a statement issued by the Foundation, and signed by the convener of the group Anthony Fredua Tamakloe, the group commended the judges for sentencing the three for the comments made during the program.

The group however said they will submit the audio to the court registry for appropriate actions to be taken against Oti Bless as well.

“We, Law Protection Foundation (LPF), wish to express our profound gratitude to the apex court (SC) for stamping their authoritative verdict on the Montie 3 case, and so have scheduled a Thanksgiving Float on 1/08/2016 through the principal streets of Accra. We are thankful for such deterrent sentence on such despicable act of journalism and disrespect for the highest authority, SC.”

The statement added that “in another twist, we have discovered a fresh evidence to the effect that an honorable member of parliament was also on the Montie show who also made contemptuous statements with the jailed 3. We shall submit the audio to your registry first thing 1/08/2016 for the consideration of the apex court. We trust as usual that justice shall be delivered.”

Meanwhile the Foundation indicated that the Media Foundation for West Africa has revealed to them that there has been sanity in the media after the sentencing of the trio. “We, LPF, have received confirmation from Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) that since 27/07/2016, the date of sentence, the media has been characterised with sanity. We believe this is good for a country going into elections in less than five months.”
