Matter Reach Court As Ablakwa Sues Gyewu Over Evacuation Claims – Ghanaians React

In Ghana recently, a matter that has dominated public conversation for months has finally reached the courts. According to a report by GHOne TV on November 3, 2026, Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has filed a defamation suit against NPP communicator Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah and Media General. The suit stems from allegations concerning the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, an exercise carried out some months ago that has since become one of the most debated subjects in the country.

The development has drawn swift and varied reactions on social media, where many Ghanaians have weighed in within minutes of the news breaking.

A significant number of commenters welcomed the move, describing court as the proper place to settle the dispute. Several argued that anyone confident in the truth of their claims should be ready to present documents and evidence before a judge. Others urged the defendants to go further and submit all available multimedia material in support of their position, so that the minister can be met with substance rather than rhetoric.

Some reactions were lighter in tone. A number of users joked about how the defence might frame the original statements, while others made playful remarks about the legal contest ahead. A few observers recalled the defendant’s past conduct towards other public figures and suggested that events had come full circle.

Supporters of the minister praised what they described as his firm refusal to tolerate falsehood, saying the lawsuit reflects a determination to defend his reputation and the integrity of the evacuation exercise. Meanwhile, some commenters hinted that more revelations could emerge as proceedings unfold.

As the case moves forward, public interest is expected to remain high. The court’s handling of the evidence, and the arguments each side presents, will be closely followed by Ghanaians eager to see the matter finally resolved.
