The pro-NPP group captured during a video training and operating from Osu Castle sued the journalist Manbadeh Azure Awuni and the group Multimedia.
The self-styled security company wants the two convicted of defamation and compensation of 10 million Ghanaian cedis to be paid to him
In a brief filed on Wednesday, the De-Eye group says that a recent JoyNews documentary showing members walking in the castle gardens was defamatory. The reference to the group as a militia in the Joynews documentary is defamatory, says the brief.
As a result, the group is seeking a court order prohibiting JoyNews from continuing to broadcast the video in which it was described as a militia group.
The two-page text also requires a retraction and excuses from Joy News and Manbadeh, as well as those posted on the station and the Daily Graphic.
They claim general damages, including legal fees charged to the journalist and his station, as well as 10 million compensatory damages.
A recent Joynews investigative documentary showed a group of men and women dressed in costumes stationed at the castle, which until 2013 was the seat of government.
Although the group said on its website that it was a security company, investigations conducted by JoyNews revealed that it was unlicensed.
A host of contradictory explanations from government sources have blurred the tracks beyond recovery.
De-Eye, however, thinks he can save the court what he can not recover through spokespersons.
The writ was served on the two accused who have eight days to file their defense.
