Watch as former CJ Torkornoo dances joyfully in rare public appearance

Former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has been captured in public, probably for the first time since her removal from office on September 1, 2025.

Justice Torkornoo was captured at a church event reported to be the Thanksgiving service of Lady Bishop Naana Addae-Mensah of Gospel Light International Church.

The former Chief Justice, who was clearly in a joyful mood, was with her husband, Francis Torkornoo, a former Director-General of the Narcotic Control Board (NACOB).

Justice Torkornoo, who was clad in all-white clothing, is seen in a video of the event giggling as she exchanges pleasantries with other attendees.

After which, she was captured dancing skilfully, together with the attendees of the event, including Lady Bishop Naana Addae-Mensah.

The song, “I know that Jesus is my saviour”, seems to have struck a different chord for the former Justice as she was clearly more joyful than all the people around her.

Justice Torkornoo is seen making some impressive leg and hand movements as she was waxing to the lyrics of the song.

About Justice Torkornoo’s removal:

President John Dramani Mahama, in accordance with Article 146(9) of the 1992 Constitution, removed Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office on September 1, 2025.

The decision followed the receipt of the report of the Committee of Inquiry established under Article 146(6) of the Constitution to investigate a petition submitted by a Ghanaian citizen, Daniel Ofori, calling for the removal of the Chief Justice.

The letter informing Justice Torkornoo of her removal, which The Law Platform shared on social media on September 3, 2025, quoted portions of the report by the five-member committee set up by President John Dramani Mahama under the 1992 Constitution.

The committee, led by Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, recommended that Justice Torkornoo should be removed.

Among the reasons the committee found her guilty were avoidable and reckless dissipation of public funds in her travel with her husband to Tanzania on one occasion, and with her daughter to the United States of America on another occasion.

The committee also found her guilty of unjustifiably breaching "the provisions in Article 296(a) and (b) of the 1992 Constitution" in transferring a judge.
