News Night: Togbe Afede Warns on Supreme Court Expansion; 3 Shot During Wa West Protest

News Night with Kenneth Gyasi and Gemma Appiah on Joy 99.7 FM brings you the day's biggest stories and in-depth analysis from across Ghana.

Tonight, Agbogbomefia Togbe Afede XIV is raising concerns over the continued expansion of Ghana's Supreme Court, warning that an open-ended increase in the number of judges could be exploited for political purposes. He also argues that the cost of accessing justice is becoming prohibitive for many ordinary Ghanaians. We hear his call for reforms to strengthen judicial independence and improve access to justice.

Also, tensions have escalated in the Wa West District, where police opened fire during a protest, leaving three people injured. The demonstration was sparked by the death of a youth leader following his arrest. Police, however, maintain that the deceased was a wanted murder suspect who died in hospital after falling ill, not while in police custody. We bring you the latest from both the community and the police.
