The case of Re Akoto and 7 Others is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Ghana that challenged the legality of the Preventive Detention Act (PDA). The case centered on the arrest of Baffour Akoto, the then Chief Linguist of the Asantehene, along with seven others, who were detained under the Preventive Detention Act (PDA). Their lawyer, J. B. Danquah, petitioned the High Court for a habeas corpus order to secure their release, but the court denied the request. The case was then appealed
