Lawyers for Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful are demanding an immediate retraction and apology from musician and supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwame Asare-Obeng better known as A Plus for making defamatory comments which sought to cast a slur on the former’s image.
Gary Nimako Marfo of Sarfo&Marfo at law gave him up to June 1 to retract and apologise for comments he made on Facebook on May 23, 2018 accusing the Minister being ‘corrupt” and imputed that “Nyantakyi is only being sacrificed to cover up the 89/178 million dollars CVG Kelnl Stinking Scandal”.
“We are instructed to notify you that our client takes a serious view of your defamatory Publication on Facebook and would not hesitate to commence legal action against you if the said publication is not retracted on or before Friday 1st June. 2018.
He is also alleged to have accused the Minister of being involved in “some shady deals at the Communications Ministry and National Communication Authority (NCA).”
Mrs Ekuful has not taken kindly to the allegations and has threatened to sue the musician to clear her name if he does not retract and apologize.
“We are instructed to notify you that our client takes a serious view of your defamatory publication on Facebook and would not hesitate to commence legal action against you if the said publication is not retracted on or before June 1, 2018.
“We are also instructed to notify you to render an unqualified apology in the same medium and prominence in the manner that your libelous publication was done,” counsel for the Minister, Gary Nimako Marfo, stated in a letter to the musician.
