After daring Executive Chairman of the State Enterprise Commission (SEC), Mr. Stephen Asamoah Boateng, to take legal action against him, musician and self-styled anti-corruption campaigner, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus is now hot as he has been slashed with a defamatory suit at the Accra High Court.

Mr. Asamoah Boateng herein as contained in the suit is praying the court for the following actions against A Plus:

i. General damages including aggravated and exemplary damages for defamation contained in the publication on the Defendant's Facebook page from 2nd April 2019 to 24th May 2019.

ii. Perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant whether by himself, his servants, agents or assigns from repeating similar or other libelous words against Plaintiff.

iii. A declaration that the words or statements internally made, uttered and published by the Defendant and contained in paragraphs 14 and 15 herein are defamatory of his character.

iv. An order of the Court directed at the Defendant to publish on three conservative occasions, on the same platform he published the defamatory words, an unqualified retraction, and an apology, with the same prominence as given to the issuance of the defamatory words. v. Costs including legal fees, and;

vi. Any other orders(s) as this honourable Court may deem fit.

Background

It would be recalled that Mr. Asamoah Boateng through his lawyers demanded an unqualified apology from the musician following the alleged “malicious and unsubstantiated” comments made against him following the government appointee’s decision to claim a parcel of land he says he has no title to.

But A Plus insisted he won’t apologize daring Asabee to drag him to court.

“I’ve made such serious allegations against you and instead of suing me to save your image and credibility if any, you are there asking for an apology. If you are not guilty, will you do this? …I’ll just wait for him to sue me. Apology di? borga forgeti!!!” A Plus wrote on his Facebook Wall.
