The said programme also stated categorically that Koofori has married a white lady and they have been spotted in some public places in Tema.<br \/>\nDuring this time, Koofori was on a holidays in America and returned a day after this program was aired. &#8220;It has come to our notice that certain defamatory remarks were made on your programme; \u201cHOT GOSSIP\u201d which was aired on Saturday the 22nd day of January 2011. Your said programme stated inter alia that three months after the death of our client\u2019s beloved wife, he had re-married.<br \/>\nThat he had re-married a white person who your host did not name. That various photos were displayed of him and his deceased wife juxtaposed with a picture of him with a white female. That the white female in the picture was behind him so as to give credence to the false impression that Mr. Karikari had taken another wife i.e. had married this white female in the picture.\u201d<br \/>\nBut Lawyers of Koofori stated that the remarks made on HOT GOSSIP are false. \u201cIt is repeated for emphasis that it is not true Mr. Karikari has married again, or has married a white female or intends to do so at present.\u201d<br \/>\nThey observed that the remarks made on the said programme have brought the name of their client into disrepute.<br \/>\n\u201cAs a result of this programme well meaning persons as well as members of his family of his deceased wife have been casting insinuations to the effect that he might have had a hand in the demise of his wife in order to marry this white female\u201d.<br \/>\nHowever Counsel for Koofori have ordered management of TV3 to render an apology and retract the story within a week.<br \/>\n&#8220;A simple retraction and apology on your News Edition\/Announcement may help to mitigate damages.
