  • The incident caused a stir on campus as the bailiff chased the SRC Speaker around the school compound in broad daylight
  • While the exact contents of the court order are unknown, it is believed they are related to the upcoming SRC General Elections

Drama unfolded at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) when a court bailiff arrived on campus to serve a court order to a member of the Student Representative Council (SRC).

A video circulating online captures the dramatic moment, showing Anorkwah running around the school compound as the bailiff chased him in an attempt to deliver the court document.

Although the contents of the court order remain unclear, sources suggest it is connected to the upcoming SRC General Elections.

The Bailiff finally caught up with Adom, but he refused to take the court documents, compelling the officer from the court to throw the documents at him.

Watch the video of Adom running around below:

Adom's video comes after the Electoral Commission disqualified the running mates of some candidates. According to the Electoral Commission, Thompson, one of the disqualified parties, violated the SRC Constitution by failing to resign from an executive position before filing his nomination.

Two out of the three presidential hopefuls scheduled to contest in the elections originally set for Wednesday, 24 April, were disqualified over similar allegations, stirring discontent among sections of the student body.

In an interview, the spokesperson of one of the candidates accused the Electoral Commission of acting beyond its mandate and ignoring proper legal interpretation of the SRC Constitution.

Reactions as bailiff chases GIMPA Speaker

Netizens who saw the video of the Speaker running around expressed mixed reactions in the comments section. Many found the Speaker's move hilarious and laughed at him in the comments section.

"Actually, the writ cannot be served by throwing it at the person. Order 7 Rule 3(2) of C.I. 47 provides that if the person or any other person obstructs the service of a written, it is absolutely sufficient to leave the service as near to that person as possible."
