Afenyo Markin sues journalist over 'Politician Chopping Somebody’s Wife' teaser

The leader of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has filed a writ against an Accra-based investigative journalist.

He is claiming that a ‘teaser’ the journalist allegedly circulated on a social media platform, is in reference to him.

The teaser, the subject of the writ, refers to ‘an MP impregnating somebody’s bride-to-be and paying off the husband’.

The case is before the Kaneshie District Court “1”, according to our normally reliable judicial sources.

Even though the story hinted at by the ‘teaser’ has yet to be published, Mr. Afenyo-Markin is certain that the references concern him, and he is in court seeking GHC500,000.00 in damages and an order of perpetual injunction.

Mr. Markin is represented by lawyer Paa Kwesi Abadoo of Dehyena Chambers from West Legon.
