Sammy Gyamfi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Minister of Education, Dr.
\nMatthew Opoku Prempeh, has dragged National Communications Officer of the
\nNational Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, to court for defamation.<\/p>\n

Dr. Prempeh, popularly called Napo,
\nwho doubles as Member of Parliament (MP) for Manhyia South, wants the court to
\nfine Sammy Gyamfi GH\u00a21 million for allegedly making alleged defamatory
\nstatements about him.<\/p>\n

Aside from the huge cash fine, the
\nwrit of summons filed on June 25 by Sarkodie Baffuor Awuah & Partners, said
\nDr. Prempeh had asked the court to order Sammy Gyamfi to retract and apologize
\nfor the defamatory statement within seven days after the judgement.<\/p>\n

Statement of Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the plaintiff\u2019s statement of claim,
\nhe averred that Sammy Gyamfi had greatly injured his positive image by falsely
\nlinking him to one Seidu Yakubu, aka \u2018Mba\u2019, the alleged ringleader in the
\nkidnapping of the two Canadian girls in Kumasi recently.<\/p>\n

The lawyers said the defendant\u2019s
\nstatement had dented Napo\u2019s image both in Ghana and abroad, considering the
\nfact that the said statement was widely captured in the media and other
\nelectronic platforms.<\/p>\n

The statement said over his entire
\npublic and private life, Napo has led a decent lifestyle worthy of emulation
\nand so Sammy Gyamfi had no justification to link him with miscreants to dent
\nhis image.<\/p>\n

According to him, Sammy Gyamfi, by
\nhis statement, intentionally portrayed Napo as a person who supports thuggery,
\nkidnapping and other illegal acts without any proof.<\/p>\n

Plaintiff\u2019s Request<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, lawyers for Napo prayed
\nthe court to restrain Sammy Gyamfi and his agents from further making or
\npublishing defamatory words against him.<\/p>\n

They also urged the court to order Sammy Gyamfi to apologize and retract the defamatory statement with the same prominence the defamatory words received within seven days after the judgment.<\/p>\n
