If you are not lucky, they would destroy the rest of your life right in front of you.<\/p>\n<p>The above is exactly what Inna Patty, the CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, organisers of the Miss Ghana Beauty pageant who has been accused of several serious crimes is doing\u2014to silence the victims who took the risk to speak out.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, 3 Former Beauty Queens-Miss Ghana 2010-Stephanie Karikari, Miss Ghana 2015-Antoinette Delali Kemavor and Miss Ghana 2013-Giuseppina Nana Akua Baafi and 1 first-runner up-Margaret Kuma-Mintah came out to erect allegations that, Inna Patty and her Exclusive Events Ghana exploited them, embezzled funds they raised, verbally and physically abused some of them and even \u2018PIMPED\u2019 some of them out to men, in return for sponsorship deals.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond these allegations, GhanaCelebrities.Com found from Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, that monies Inna Patty and her Exclusive Events Ghana through the 2013 Miss Ghana contestants solicited for Korle-Bu\u2019s Maternity ward were never donated\u2014just as Margaret Kuma-Mintah stated.<\/p>\n<p>In any country where the rule of law is strictly adhered to, and where the societal tenets reside on accountability, justice and support for victims, Inna Patty would have now been under investigation or would have been dragged to court by the appropriate authorities to answer to these accusations.<\/p>\n<p>But in Ghana, the woman who is said to have always intimidated these young vulnerable Miss Ghana contestants by claiming to know \u201cpowerful and big men\u201d is aggressively using the President of Ghana\u2019s law firm, Akufo-Addo, Prempeh &amp; Co, to threaten the victims who mustered courage to share their horrible experiences with frivolous lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/62739671.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, she first tried to gag the media by using the same law firm to demand that all publications on the Miss Ghana scandal should somewhat be halted\u2014calling the allegations which she has not answered to, vicious, malicious and defamatory.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that Inna Patty is a dangerous bully, exactly as some of the girls mentioned in their interview with GhanaCelebrities.Com when they shared their stories.<\/p>\n<p>And she remains a bully, freely operating in a rogue manner, of using whatever means to silence those who have suffered in her hands. This is largely possible because the victims are \u201cweak\u201d and the Ghanaian society rarely cares or supports such victims.<\/p>\n<p>This time, we shouldn\u2019t allow a woman who has been accused by 5 different young women of committing offences against them and the state\u2014to turn around and terrorize them into silence because she has whatever connections to obtain one of Ghana\u2019s foremost law firms to be writing nonsense letters on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16908540.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Legally, a defamation suit against any of the victims who spoke out would amount to nothing\u2014as Inna Patty has to prove that whatever they said she told them or asked them to do, was in fact false.<\/p>\n<p>But she\u2019s not really doing this just because of the current victims, She wants it to also serve as a threat to future victims\u2014not to speak out against her when she f*cks up with them.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, every right-thinking Ghanaian must rise against the \u201ctyranny\u201d of this vicious woman, her intimidation tactics and the use of \u201cbig men\u201d connections to shield her vile and alleged criminal dealings.<\/p>\n<p>We need a society that speaks out against those who have power and influence.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 61 updated by: 61 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 10 January 2018 Source: ghanacelebrities.com 2018-01-10 CEO of Exclusive Events Ghana, Inna Maryam Patty Over the last few months I have questioned the culture of silence in Ghana, especially in areas of sexual abuse and exploitation\u2014exceptionally high when those wielding some sort of power or influence commit grave crimes against others, mostly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":453704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-453703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453703\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
