Alhaji Abdul-Malik Kweku Baako Junior, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper has sued Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), Kennedy Agyapong, at the Accra High Court, asking the court to compel the controversial lawmaker to vomit GHS25 million for defaming him.
The ace journalist is accusing the loudmouthed Kennedy Agyapong of using his own media platform Net 2 TV and Oman FM as well Adom TV and numerous other platforms to spew statements that Mr Baako considers injurious to his hard-won reputation.
The writ copied to MyNewsGH.com said among other things that Kennedy Agyapong called Mr Kwaku Baako ‘corrupt’ and ‘dishonest’, in total disregard for Mr Baako’s years of building his reputation earning an Order of the Star of Volta in the process and managing many prominent newspapers to success.
But if it is expected Mr. Agyapong will be remorseful getting wind of the suit, that is the last thing he will do, he has stated.
When the writ was read to him on the radio he had a reply waiting:
“Twenty-five million? When I shit I will pay!”.
According to Mr Kennedy Agyapong in an interview followed by MyNewsGH.com on Accra based Asempa FM Tuesday afternoon, he said he is not scared of the GHC25 million damages that Baako is seeking and can pay it at a moment’s notice.
“I will face them one by one, nah! Kweku Baako… I will strip him naked… I swear to God,” Mr Agyapong burst into hilarious laughter.
He said the suit will not stop him from speaking the truth about Kweku Baako, warning that he will now disgrace him [Baako] even more.
