Hassan Zein's lawyers advised the public against A Plus' rants.
Lawyer for Mr Hassan Zein, Justice Abdulai has advised the general public to treat comments by A Plus, also known as Kwame Asare Obeng with the contempt it deserves.
According to the lawyers, the political activist's recent comments, attacking the personality of his client (Hassan Zein) is not only baseless but highly defamatory and no level headed self-respected business fellow with global investment interests would accept this obnoxious character hence the determination to deal with his person with the appropriate provisions of the state laws.
The lawyer said A Plus' loose comments have landed him in several law courts and has wondered why he keeps ranting on social and traditional media.
"A Plus may damage the character and reputation of others for reasons best known to him but it shall not be so with our client who has over several years concentrated on achieving goodness both for others and himself at every given time of his business and philanthropic life", the lawyer said.
He added, "The law enforcement agencies should not accept the unlawful verbal attacks and the cheap attention-seeking style of this irresponsible character. It will only inform the assumption that our laws don't work. We promise to defend and demand justice due to our client anytime the needs arise".
