In addition, on the firm instructions of Osahen Afenyo-Markin, another writ, Suit No. GJ/0045/2027, was filed on Thursday, October 15, 2026 at the Accra High Court against Mr. Sammy Gyamfi regarding defamatory statements allegedly made during the Government Accountability Series and on Joy FM’s Newsfile programme.
“Although we disagree with the High Court’s earlier decision setting aside our client’s previous writ, this new writ has been issued against the Defendants in accordance with the Court’s latest Interpretation of the rules,” the statement said.
