Richard Etornam Nyarko in his Affidavit in Support of the Application invoking the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court further stated that the Koforidua High court did not have the jurisdiction to do what it did for which reason the Supreme Court should bring up the order and quash it.

Richard Etornam Nyarko therefore seek an Order of Certiorari and Prohibition from the Supreme Court against the High Court in Koforidua to quash the Ruling and Order of the High Court and to Prohibit the High Court Judge from sitting on the case.
