Government Accountability Series: Attorney General to unveil ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ case Monday
The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is expected to appear at the Government Accountability Series on Monday, July 28, 2025.
He will answer questions about the Unibank case, give an update on the ORAL initiative, and reveal details about a case he refers to as “Rumble in the Jungle.”
The series, which shines a spotlight on transparency and performance, continues today with Hon. Emmanuel Kofi Armah Buah, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources.
He will speak about his stewardship in the sector and update the public on ongoing efforts to fight illegal mining, also known as “galamsey.”
The first Government Accountability Series was held in January 2025. Since then, seven ministers have appeared to explain the work of their ministries, update the public on key policies, and respond to questions.
The series is designed to promote open governance and help Ghanaians understand what their leaders are doing.
Next Monday’s appearance by the Attorney-General is highly anticipated, especially due to the controversial nature of the Unibank case and the mystery surrounding “Rumble in the Jungle.”
His explanations are expected to shed light on the government’s legal battles and justice sector reforms.
The Government Accountability Series is an initiative by the Ministry of Information in partnership with key civil society groups to ensure leaders remain answerable to the people they serve.

Abu Trica’s extradition case: Prophets, fetish priests demand pay for spiritual solution …Lawyer reveals
Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer for embattled Frederick Kumi, affectionately called Abu Trica and has made a shocking revelation over the behaviour of some members of the clergy.
According to him in a post on social media, the difficult part of Abu Trica’s trial is not the law but the number of ‘Men of God’ and fetish priests demanding financial sacrifices to help resolve the matter spiritually.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, “The most difficult part about the Abu Trica case; is not the law.”
He continued: “It is the number of, prophetesses, evangelists and fetish priests, who have called or messaged to ask us to pay for spiritual solutions.”
It would be recalled that in March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Abu Trica, challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
The court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, in its ruling held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
He was then given 15 days counting from March 27 to appeal the decision of the court or be surrendered for extradition to the US.
Against this backdrop, he was on Tuesday, April 22, granted a bail in the sum of GH¢30,000,000 by an Accra High, pending the appeal of his extradition
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, alleging that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
