Martin Kpebu urges Afenyo-Markin not to return to court over Sammy Gyamfi lawsuit

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has urged Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin not to return to court over his GH¢15 million defamation suit against Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) Chief Executive Officer Sammy Gyamfi, following the dismissal of the case by the High Court.

On Wednesday, October 14, the High Court’s General Jurisdiction 1 threw out Mr Afenyo-Markin’s GH¢15 million defamation suit, ruling that the writ was incurably defective and incompetent and could not properly invoke the court’s jurisdiction.

Responding to a question on whether the media could continue reporting on the controversy without risking contempt of court or breaching an injunction, Mr Kpebu said there was no legal impediment he was aware of following the dismissal of the suit.
