South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has filed a defamation suit against fellow legislator and Assin South MP, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, over a social media post alleging his involvement in a bribery scandal.
Filed at the High Court in Accra, the suit stems from a post on X (formerly Twitter) in which Ntim Fordjour reportedly claimed that Dafeamekpor, as Vice Chairman of the Committee on Subsidiary Legislation, was complicit in receiving GHC 360,000 for the passage of a Legislative Instrument.
The post also alleged that the committee misappropriated GHC 49 million-claims Dafeamekpor firmly denies.
Describing the allegations as false, malicious, and damaging, Dafeamekpor argues that the claims have harmed his reputation, caused emotional distress, and disrupted his professional life.
