The NDC Deputy National Communications Officer, Godwin Ako Gunn, has reopened conversations about the legal battles faced by former NDC National Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo while reacting to public debate surrounding Kwame Baffoe, aka Abronye DC.

Speaking on JoyNews, Ofosu Ampofo claimed that he was forced to appear in court 88 times during the previous NPP administration, describing the experience as physically and emotionally draining.

“A whole national chairman of our party was hauled to court 88 times,” Ako Gunn said during the discussion.

He went on to recount what he described as one of the most painful moments from the case.

According to him, Ofosu Ampofo had travelled to the United States for spine surgery and asked for a short adjournment because doctors wanted to monitor his recovery.

“He pleaded that the next court date be postponed for one month because of the surgery on his spine,” Ako Gunn stated.

However, he claimed the request was rejected, forcing the former NDC chairman to cut short his recovery and travel back to Ghana despite being in serious pain.

Ako Gunn said Ofosu Ampofo was unable to endure a direct flight because of his condition.

“He had to use three different airlines so he could have breaks intermittently before getting to Ghana,” he alleged.

The NDC communicator added that the situation became even more frustrating when the Attorney General at the time allegedly failed to file documents expected in court.

“If he knew he was not ready, at least postpone the date for a month,” Ako Gunn argued.

His comments came while discussing concerns around reputational damage and political prosecutions, an issue that has resurfaced following conversations around Abronye’s legal troubles.

“Punishing people’s hard-earned image is not a joke,” Ako Gunn stressed.
