An Accra High Court on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at about 9:15 a.m., granted an application for substituted service in the GH¢5 million defamation suit filed by Samuel against media personality Captain Smart and his employers, Media General.

filed the suit in January 2025, accusing Captain Smart of making "deliberate and damaging" remarks regarding his role as Head of Communications and Presidential Spokesperson during the tenure of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.

In a broadcast, Captain Smart alleged-with what Anyidoho describes as "false certainty", that he had personally witnessed Anyidoho insult then Vice President John Dramani Mahama "face-to-face" at the Flagstaff House.

He further claimed that Anyidoho, whom he wrongly described as "Director of Operations at the Flagstaff House," locked Mahama out of his office and routinely disrespected him.
