Sammy Gyamfi has filed a defamation lawsuit against Asaase Radio and ABC News over a story about his trip to Miami. Gyamfi is the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The claim comes after a viral video purportedly showed Gyamfi and his better half going on an expensive trip to Miami, supposedly financed by the NDC.
Gyamfi has therefore filed a lawsuit seeking GH10 million in damages and has denied the allegations, calling them “baseless and senseless.”
He made it clear that the allegations are baseless, malicious, and completely false.
Sammy Gyamfi believes the respondents acted with foolish negligence for reality, deliberately planning to tarnish his reputation and actually hurt his personality.
“Plaintiff avers that he has NEVER been to the said Betsy Hotel in Miami, Florida in the United States of America and has never paid or misappropriated US$3000 a day on hotel accommodation or US$42,000 on hotel accommodation over a two-week period from monies allocated to him by his party, as falsely claimed by the Defendants.”
He is also pleading with the court to order ABC News, and Asaase Radio to render an unqualified apology through their medium and another apology to be published on the front page of the Daily Graphic Newspaper for three (3) consecutive days.
“A retraction and an unqualified apology by each of the Defendants to Plaintiff using the same medium they used in publishing the defamatory statements complained of.”
