A High Court in Accra has issued an order for substituted service in a case filed by the McDan Group of Companies against journalist David Tamakloe for defamation.

In December 2024, an article on The New Republic website claimed that a McDan Aviation aircraft had been seized in the UK due to unpaid debts.

The company strongly disputes this claim as damaging and untrue.

The lawsuit was then published in the Daily Graphic's May 22, 2025, edition.
