Former Circuit Court Judge for Jasikan, Alfred Kwabena Asiedu's letter responding to a petition that led to his dismissal, for having an affair with a petitioner in a divorce case, has popped up.
The judge submitted a detailed letter dated January 24, 2023, to the Director of Complaints Units at the Judicial Service of Ghana.
It was concerning an earlier petition by one Singari Diana Sadia, dated 16th January 2023, in which the petitioner alleged among others sexual impropriety, bribery demands and arbitrary arrest.
In his letter, the former judge denied the accusations, labelling them as false and a product of the petitioner's imagination.
“I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 16th January 2023 referenced PC.13/2023 on the above subject matter and wish to respond accordingly and to state that every material allegation made in the petition is false and clearly made out the figment of the illusioned imagination of the petitioner," he stated.
Judge Asiedu's response provided a point-by-point rebuttal, contesting the allegations of an improper relationship, abuse of power, and malicious prosecution.
He asserted that the petitioner's claims were baseless and challenged the veracity of the evidence presented against him.
The judge also accused the petitioner of attempting to tarnish his reputation, citing her previous failed attempts to involve her ex-husband in making false claims against him.
