Kan Dapaah’s defamation case: Court slaps Barker-Vormawor with GH₵10K cost

A request filed by political activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor to the High Court for the GH₵10 million defamation suit filed against him by the National Security Minister to be struck out has been dismissed.

The High Court presided over by Justice Rev Joseph Owusu-Adu Agyemang held that the application lacks merit.

The court also awarded a cost of GH₵10k against Oliver Barker-Vormawor after lawyers of Kan Dapaah asked for GH₵20,000.

The ruling of the court followed a submission from lawyers of Barker-Vormawor that, the National Security Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah exaggerated and coloured his application by the use of words like bribe or bribery.

But lawyers of the National Security Minister opposed the request and urged the court to dismiss the same with punitive cost.
