Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Blay Nyameke Armah, has filed a defamation lawsuit in the High Court of Justice, Accra, against three defendants: Ignite Media Group, the Jospong Group of Companies, and Lawuratu Musah-Saka.
The lawsuit arises from allegedly defamatory remarks made on the popular television show Good Morning Ghana and subsequently shared across various social media platforms.
In a writ dated April 9, the plaintiff claims that the first defendant falsely accused him of possessing 3,000 kilograms of cocaine valued at $350 million and of being involved in multinational drug trafficking.
The remarks also implied that Armah's son had been arrested in connection with the alleged illicit activities, and that Armah himself had fled to a neighboring country to evade arrest.
