Albert Kan-Dapaah, the Minister of National Security, has sued the Convener of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration, Mawuse Oliver Barker-Vormawor for alleging that the National Security and other government officials offered him money to supposedly silence him prior to his protest.

Mawuse Barker-Vormawor made the allegations after he and several others were released by the police after they were arrested on Thursday, September 21, for staging a demonstration in Accra in breach of a restraining order secured by the police.

Albert Kan-Dapaah is demanding the “recovery of the sum of Ten Million Ghana Cedis (GHC10,000,000.00) as General Damages including Aggravated and/or Exemplary Damages for Defamation for the words uttered by Defendant.”

He is also demanding an apology for and retraction of the words complained of as well as “a perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant from repeating similar or other defamatory words against the Plaintiff.”

The Ministry of National Security in a statement  debunked the claims.

Below is the Ministry’s statement debunking Barker-Vormawor’s Allegation 

The allegations made by Oliver Barker-Vormawor are thus false, unfounded, and a calculated attempt to hoodwink Ghanaians.

This Ministry, therefore, challenges him to produce the alleged recording of the said inducement. Meanwhile, the general public is urged to ignore the allegations and treat them with the utmost contempt they deserve.
