Former Attorney General who has criticized EOCO's re-arrest of ex-Buffer Stock CEO and alleged procedural violations.
Dame is representing Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba and his wife following their re-arrest by EOCO shortly after charges against them were discontinued in the National Food and Buffer Stock Company case, with Dame criticising the re-arrest as "extra judicial harassment" and raising constitutional and procedural concerns. He has also faced professional conduct complaints from lawyers for businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, who accused him of violating ethical rules by issuing a press statement on an ongoing marital dispute.
Former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has suggested his political journey extends beyond his current position, ruling out parliamentary ambitions but leaving open the possibility of higher office. He said his immediate focus is helping the NPP return to power in 2028 under former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
