Controversy
In November 2022, the General Legal Council of Ghana decided to put on hold Ama's call to Ghana's Bar due to a petition that was filed against her by Justice Cynthia Pamela A. Addo who is the Secretary of the council. It is stated in the petition Ama was seen in videos that were making rounds and were described as "conduct unbecoming of an applicant to be called to the Bar."[10][11]
