The widow of J.B. Danquah suing Kennedy Agyapong, 8 others | Social

Ivy Heward Mills, wife of the late Abuakwa North MP, JB Danquah-Adu, sued the MP of Central Assin and eight other people for defamation, claiming 50 million GHC.

The lawsuit came a few months after the outspoken deputy made comments that the widow of the deceased had connections with private investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Mr. Agyepong made this remark before Anas' first investigator's piece No. 12, which alleged alleged corrupt transactions in the Ghana Football Federation.

The widow, however, was offended by the allegations and decided to drag the legislator to court for what she said was defamatory.

Kencity Media, Kennedy Agyapong, Group Limited, Multimedia Group, the BEI Group, Joy Daddy Media, F-Giant Broadcasting Limited, Apex Media and Ghana Soccernet are linked to the lawsuit.

She claims damages in the amount of 50 million GHC from the MP and other defendants.

In addition to the money, Ivy also wants the plaintiffs to apologize for the defamatory statements approved by the court. They should "be published with the same visibility as defamatory statements and publications on the various sites or stations on which they were published and in the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times".
