Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, has stated that he has not been served with the defamation suit filed against him by his colleague, the Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Mr. Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor.
His comments follow a suit filed by the South Dayi MP over a social media post he claims has severely damaged his reputation.
The legal action stems from a post made by Rev. Ntim Fordjour on May 8, 2025, via the platform X (formerly Twitter), in which he alleged that Mr. Dafeamekpor—who also serves as the Majority Chief Whip in Parliament—acted as Vice Chairman of the Committee on Subsidiary Legislation during a period when the embattled former National Signals Bureau boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, allegedly paid GH¢360,000 to the committee to help facilitate the passage of a Legislative Instrument (L.I.).
Kwabena Adu-Boahene, in his defence against claims that he fraudulently misappropriated GH¢49.1 million, explained that allowances of GH¢960,000 and GH¢309,000 were paid to MPs on the Defence and Interior Committee and the Subsidiary Legislation Committee, respectively, during the passage of the NSB Act and its accompanying Legislative Instrument.
However, in a press statement issued on May 16, 2025, Rev. Ntim Fordjour said the suit had not come to his attention.
He expressed his eagerness to be served, arguing that he would demonstrate the suit lacks merit.
“Media reports of a suit supposedly filed by my colleague Honourable Member of Parliament for South Dayi. Mr. Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has come to my attention.
“I have, however, not been served with any such suit. I, therefore, await the service of the supposed suit and will demonstrate that it is of no merit,” he stated.
