With a provocative warning aimed at one of Ghana's renowned female Supreme Court judges, media personality Kelvin Taylor, who is living in the US and is from Ghana, has sparked a social media firestorm. Taylor asserted during his show that one of the five female justices—Judge Barbara F. Ackah-Yensu, Justice Prof. Henrietta Joy Abena Nyarko Mensah-Bonsu, Justice Lovelace Johnson, Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, or Justice Mariama Owusu—has had a covert affair with a married man who is fifteen years her junior. Taylor maintains that he will make information about the alleged affair public unless this anonymous judge steps forward by November 11 to "answer eight questions" and step down.
Taylor asserted in his broadcast that he had text messages, images, and videos that supported his allegations. He described his inquiries, focusing on the purported exchanges between the judge and the married man, who was only known by his name, Emmanuel, a businessman connected to Ghana's milk sector. Taylor claims that Emmanuel, whose birthday is March 31, was supposedly involved in a divorce and that the judge had given him legal aid. Taylor also asked why the judge, who he says is married and a devoted Christian, often spent the night at McCarthy Hill and left the man's home early.


The vocal media personality made it clear that his goal is to hold public leaders accountable, especially those who serve as representatives of Ghana's highest courts. He emphasized that the nation's leaders ought to uphold the standards they demand of others, particularly when it comes to personal integrity. Taylor's demand has sparked discussions about ethics and openness in Ghana's judiciary as well as increased public attention.


Social media users and Ghanaians are split as the deadline of November 11 draws near. While some call for evidence to support Taylor's assertions, others are skeptical of the charges, wondering if the motivation is based on justice or personal grudges.
