GoldBod CEO Threatens Legal Action Over Claims Linking Him to GH¢200m Alleged Disappearance
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has issued a strong warning to individuals and media platforms against circulating allegations he says falsely link him to an alleged disappearance of GH¢200 million involving a man identified as Dominic Bonsu.
In a legal notice dated August 5, 2026, Mr. Gyamfi’s lawyers described claims circulating on social media and other platforms that Mr. Bonsu was his bodyguard and had allegedly absconded with GoldBod funds as “entirely false, malicious, reckless and devoid of any factual or legal basis.”
The legal team has demanded an immediate stop to the publication, sharing or reproduction of the allegations in any form, warning that their client reserves the right to take legal action against persons or organisations responsible for spreading the claims.
According to the notice, Mr. Gyamfi has never met, known, employed or maintained any personal or professional relationship with Mr. Bonsu.
The lawyers further stated that Mr. Bonsu was never Mr. Gyamfi’s bodyguard, security officer, employee, agent, representative or associate.
They also rejected claims that Mr. Bonsu disappeared with GH¢200 million belonging to GoldBod, describing the allegation as “false, fabricated, malicious, and wholly without factual or legal foundation.”
The legal notice stressed that neither Mr. Gyamfi nor GoldBod ever entrusted, transferred or paid GH¢200 million—or any public funds—to Mr. Bonsu.
The lawyers warned that any suggestion that the GoldBod CEO authorised, facilitated, participated in, benefited from or condoned financial misconduct was defamatory and could attract legal consequences.
Addressing reports that a company linked to Mr. Bonsu may have obtained a licence from GoldBod, the lawyers argued that such approval does not establish any personal, professional or business connection between the two individuals.
The notice cautioned that each new publication or republication of the allegations could amount to a separate legal offence, potentially exposing publishers, editors, broadcasters and online administrators to liability.
Mr. Gyamfi’s lawyers added that information obtained from social media platforms or third-party sources would not protect individuals from defamation claims.
They said they had received instructions to pursue all available legal remedies, including claims for damages, injunctions and legal costs against anyone who continues to publish or circulate the allegations.
The legal action, the lawyers noted, is being pursued without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to their client.
