Heavy Security at Supreme Court as it rules on Abu Ramadan case

There is currently heavy security presence at the Supreme Court ahead of Tuesday’s ruling on voters who used the National Health Insurance Scheme cards as form of identification for registration.  

According to Radio Ghana's Beatrice Oppong, the heavily armed police officers numbering about 40 have been stationed around the court. 

She added that persons accessing the Chief Justice’s court where the case is being heard are made to undergo intense security checks.

The Supreme Court will give its ruling on the fate of 56,000 persons whose names were captured on the electoral register using the National Health Insurance Scheme card.

Lawyers for former National Youth Organizer of the PNC, Abu Ramadan filed an application opposing the list of persons who registered with NHIS cards submitted to the Supreme Court.

The Electoral Commission submitted the list on the orders of the Supreme Court.

However, lawyers for Abu Ramadan raised objections to the 56,000 names presented to the court. They claim the list is fictitious.
