Two political commentators who allegedly threatened the lives of justices of the superior court are expected to appear before the Supreme Court today to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court.
Alistair Tairo Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn were ordered by the court to appear before it at 9:30 a.m today and defend their actions.
Apart from the two, the owner of Montie FM, the radio station where the two panellists made the alleged threats, and Salifu Masse, alias Mugabe, the host of the programme on which the comments were made, are also to appear before the apex court the same time today.
The Supreme Court in four different summons dated July 5, 2016 and signed by the Chief Justice, Mrs Justice Theodora Wood, ordered the four individuals to appear before the court and explain why they should not be punished for contempt of court.
“You are hereby ordered to show cause why you should not be committed to prison for contempt of court for thereby: (a) scandalising the court, (b) defying and lowering the authority of this court and (c) bringing the authority of the court into disrepute,’’ the summons stated.
