Socialite and actress Afia Schwarzenegger has summoned singer Mzbel to appear before an arbitration court in the Volta Region on April 18, 2026, over a string of allegations made against her.
In a letter dated April 8, 2026, and shared on her Instagram page, Afia Schwarzenegger invited Mzbel to the arbitration court of Torgbui Adzima in Ketu South to respond to claims that she engaged in an inappropriate act involving a dog and allegedly received $5,000 from its owner.
According to the letter, Afia Schwarzenegger, who is the plaintiff in the matter, expressed her readiness to pay Mzbel GH¢3,000,000 if the allegations are proven to be true.
However, she insists that, should the claims be found to be false, Mzbel must equally compensate her with the same amount, in addition to covering damages related to defamation.
“Plaintiff affirms that if it’s true that she told Defendant as she is claiming, she is ready to pay Defendant an amount of GH¢3,000,000.00 (Three Million Ghana Cedis) to her; but if the ruling goes against her, she will also compensate me with the same amount, including the expenses incurred for the character defamation caused by her.
“Defendant is hereby invited to the above arbitration court to defend and explain the allegation levelled against her,” the letter read.
The notice further stated that, if Mzbel denies the accusations, the matter could be escalated for spiritual adjudication.
“However, the case could be referred to the gods to reveal the truth in the matter should you deny the charge above and give a false statement,” the letter added.
Background
Afia Schwarzenegger rains curses on Mzbel
The development follows a heated back-and-forth between the two public figures that escalated over the past few days.
On April 4, 2026, Mzbel appeared on UTV’s United Showbiz, where she addressed several personal and longstanding controversies, including rumours about her alleged involvement with a pastor.
During the discussion, she became emotional, breaking down in tears while denying the claims and expressing frustration over persistent public scrutiny.
Mzbel’s emotional breakdown drew reaction from Afia Schwarzenegger, who dismissed her as someone seeking public sympathy.
Afia went further to allege that Mzbel had initiated contact with the said pastor under questionable circumstances and later attempted to portray herself as a victim.
The tension escalated on April 7, 2026, when Mzbel responded in a viral social media video, declaring she was ready to confront Afia Schwarzenegger directly.
She warned that she would reveal damaging information if provoked further, a threat she followed through on by making explosive allegations about Afia Schwarzenegger’s private life.
