KINGSLEY AMOAKWAH, an applicant in a case brought against the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) and the university at the Winneba High Court has withdrawn the application.
Mr. Amoakwah was
challenging the legitimacy of the Vice-Chancellor, Rev Fr Prof Anthony
Afful-Broni.
When the Winneba
High Court presided over by Her Ladyship Janapare A. Bartels Kodwo (Mrs) called
the case Wednesday, the applicant, through his lawyer’s clerk, told the judge
of his decision to discontinue the case against the VC and UEW.
Lawyer for the 1st
to 2nd respondents, Paa Kwasi Abaidoo, sought costs and prayed the court that
as a condition, the applicant should be made to pay costs in full before being
allowed to file any other legal action in court.
The Presiding
Judge, on the contrary, pointed out that the applicant’s right to seek legal
redress cannot be taken away from him and therefore cost awarded against him
will therefore suffice.
Consequently, Justice
Janapare awarded a cost of GH¢5,000 against Mr. Amoakwah to be paid to UEW.
It would be
recalled that Mr. Amoakwah’s application which sought among other relieves to
restrain the VC from holding himself out as VC or performing any such functions
in the capacity of 2nd Respondent institution was mistaken as an injunction
order by some dismissed staff led by former VC of UEW, Prof. Mawutor Avoke.
Prof. Mawutor
Avoke on that basis stormed the University with some dismissed staff and
sympathisers to stage what the University authorities described as “an aborted
Rambo style ‘coup d’etat’ to announce their return and recapture of the
University last Tuesday. This created a state of fear and panic at the university.
