Prophet Badu Kobi sues Oxy FM boss for defamatory comment

Prophet Emmanuel Badu Kobi has sued Oxy FM, CEO of Oxy FM, Alfred Kwame Larbi, and two other media houses for publishing false stories about him.

For well over two weeks, the broadcaster allegedly insulted Prophet Kobi for reasons known to him.

DJ Oxy is reported to have said that the Prophet bribed him and asked him to align himself with him to destroy President Akufo-Addo.

It can be recalled that DJ Oxy in an interview on Rainbow radio claimed that Prophet Badu Kobi gave him a photograph of a man with a striking resemblance to President Akuffo Addo.

The purpose was to publicly say that the man was an illegitimate son of President Nana Addo. This was in exchange for favours including a private jet from then President Mahama.

But speaking on Happy FM, Prophet Badu Kobi refuted these claims.

He said "I met DJ Oxy for the first time in 2017 so he couldn't have met me in 2016 before the election. All he is saying are lies. When I met him the President had already been elected and sworn in. So how could I have had plans to cause the President to lose the 2016 election," Prophet Badu Kobi quizzed.

In response to a question by the host about whether or not he was going to sue the DJ, he said "Yes I will sue him, my lawyers have taken up the issue and we will know truth in court."
