Sammy Gyamfi sues Afia Schwarzenegger for GH₵10m

The CEO of Ghana GoldBod, Sammy Gyamfi, has dragged Afia Schwarzenegger to court for defamation.

The famous politician is demanding GH₵10,000,000 from Afia after she made some derogatory remarks about him.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, Afia Schwarzenegger accused him of buying cars for girls at the University of Ghana, a claim he describes as false and only intended to destroy his image.

Okatakyie analyses Sammy Gyamfi's lawsuit against Afia

Okatakyie Afrifa accused the prominent Ghanaian politician of peddling falsehoods against his political opponents while serving as the National Communications Director for the NDC, and lying his way to win power in the 2024 elections.

He recalled how Sammy Gyamfi told Ghanaians that Hubtel belonged to the former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, yet it later turned out that the claim was false.

He also referred the NDC politician to some remarks he made against the host of the Kokrokoo Morning Show, Chairman Kwame Sefa Kayi, in 2019 when his party was in opposition.

Okatakyie stated that despite all of Sammy Gyamfi's numerous "sins," no one has ever taken him to court for defamation.

He, therefore, found it absurd that Sammy Gyamfi would sue someone over comments made about him and accused the GoldBod CEO of trying to intimidate Afia Schwarzenegger with his legal action.

Okatakyie asked him to withdraw the lawsuit immediately, since Afia Schwarzenegger will not be intimidated by it.
