Sammy Gyamfi’s Lawyer Drops Big Revelation on Why Afenyo-Markin’s Suit Was Thrown Out Today

According to a report by JoyNews on Wednesday October 14, 2026, Lawyer for GoldBod Chief Executive Officer Sammy Gyamfi, Seth Nyaaba, has explained why the High Court dismissed the GH₵15 million defamation lawsuit filed by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin against his client.

According to Seth Nyaaba, Afenyo-Markin failed to comply with the court rules when he filed the lawsuit. He explained that the Minority Leader did not endorse the alleged defamatory statement on the writ, a failure that rendered his application incompetent.

The lawyer’s explanation sheds more light on the legal reasons behind the court’s decision to throw out the case.

Afenyo-Markin had filed a GH₵15 million defamation lawsuit against Sammy Gyamfi over an alleged defamatory statement. However, the case faced a legal challenge over the manner in which the writ was prepared and filed.

Seth Nyaaba maintained that the failure to endorse the alleged defamatory statement on the writ amounted to non-compliance with the applicable court rules. He argued that this procedural failure made the application incompetent.

The development highlights the importance of following court procedures when initiating legal action. Parties involved in litigation are expected to comply with the relevant rules to ensure that their cases are properly brought before the court.

The dismissal of the lawsuit is a significant development in the legal dispute between Afenyo-Markin and Sammy Gyamfi. It has also drawn attention to the procedural requirements that must be met when filing defamation cases.

The explanation from Sammy Gyamfi’s counsel provides further insight into the reason the court rejected the Minority Leader’s application.

The report was shared by JoyNews. Further details about the court’s ruling and any possible steps by Afenyo-Markin to challenge the decision would depend on subsequent developments.
