Sammy Gyamfi sues Asaase Radio, ABC News for defamation

Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has filed a lawsuit against Asaase Radio and ABC News for defamation over a story about his trip to Miami.

The lawsuit comes after a viral video purportedly showed Gyamfi and his wife taking a luxurious trip to Miami, allegedly funded by the party.

Gyamfi has denied the allegations, describing them as “baseless and senseless” and has taken legal action seeking GH¢10 million in damages.

He categorically stated that the accusations are entirely false and malicious, with no basis in fact.

Gyamfi believes the defendants acted with reckless disregard for the truth, intentionally aiming to tarnish his reputation and cause harm to his character.

“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 also praying 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.”
