JUDGMENT
On the 14th April, 2022, the applicant herein Nii Okpe V, describing himself as the
Dzasetse of Ngleshie Alata Stool James Town, filed the instant application under
Order 50 rule 1 of the C.I 47 praying for an order to commit the Respondents into
prison for their ‘contumacious conduct by reason of obstructing the roadways and
highways of public justice by usurping the powers of the Court’. The applicant
supported his application with a 13 paragraph affidavit in support with Exhibits and
annexures. To put the application into perspective, I hereby reproduce some salient
paragraphs of the affidavit in support for their full effects. They are paragraphs 4, 7 to
9 as follows:
“4. That I have been told by my Counsel and I believe same to be true that per
the ruling in the case of THE REPUBLIC VRS JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE
GA TRADITIONAL COUNCIL EXPARTE; NII KOJO ABABIO V, SUIT NUMBER
MISC/28/85, His Lordship A.K.B Ampiah J.A indicated that it is only persons from
the Okpe Family of James Town Ngleshie Alata can be Dzase or kingmakers who can

Ngleshie Alata in the name of NII KOJO ASHAMFLO III known in real life as
Bishop Dr. Nii Aflah Sackey, the 4th Respondent herein. Attached is a copy of the said
video of the press conference and it is marked as Exhibit ‘B’.
8. That on the 1st day of February 2022, the 4th Respondent in confirming the
statements made in the press conference mentioned supra, wrote a letter in which
he claimed to be the Ngleshie Alata Dzasetse though he hails from the Adanse
We which is different from the Okpe Family who are entitled to this position of
Dzasetse of Ngleshie Alata Stool. Attached is a copy of the letter written by the 4th
Respondent calling himself Dzasetse of Ngleshie Alata contrary to the
judgment of the court and this is marked as Exhibit ‘C’
9. The 4th Respondent in wilful disrespect to the judgment of a competent Court
or jurisdiction has always attempted to widen the Dzase to include others and or
strangers who are not members of the Dzase and not kingmakers and although
he does not hail from the Okpe family has been describing himself as a member
of an accredite
