Blay Nyameke Armah, who serves as a member of Parliament for Sekondi, has started a legal action for defamation against Jospong, Metro TV, and a member of the NPP.
The lawsuit specifically names Lawuratu Musah-Saka, the Jospong Group of Companies, and Ignite Media Group.
On the TV show Good Morning Ghana, certain statements were made that Blay Nyameke Armah says damaged his reputation.
These remarks spread widely through social media channels, reaching many people.
According to Blay Nyameke Armah’s lawyers, on April 9, Lawuratu Musah-Saka falsely accused him of being linked to 3,000 kilograms of cocaine, which is worth $350 million.
She also claimed that he had escaped to a nearby country to avoid arrest and that his son was caught regarding the cocaine case.
Blay Nyameke Armah’s legal action seeks several outcomes from the court, including:
– An official statement confirming that Lawuratu Musah-Saka’s claims were false, harmful, and damaging to his reputation.
– A demand for the defendants to make a public retraction and apology, ensuring it’s as visible as the original harmful statements.
– A permanent order preventing the defendants from making further damaging statements.
– Various types of damages, including general, aggravated, punitive, and compensatory damages, amounting to GH₵10,000,000.00.
– Payment of legal costs and any other reliefs that the court sees fit.
Meanwhile, Blay Nyameke Armah speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV stated on the alleged cocaine claims stated, “For me, Lawyer Blay Armah, all the allegations being peddled against me, I have no hand in them. The next thing is that they will hear from my lawyers”.
“It’s on Twitter and all over social media. But as I’m saying, in my entire life, I have never seen cocaine before. Whether it is white, or green I have not seen some with my eyes before. And the amount of money they’re mentioning, if I had that kind of money, would I still be here? I would have bought an island somewhere in the Caribbean”, he added.
