WATCH: Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah rips Sammy Gyamfi apart

Media personality Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has criticized Sammy Gyamfi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD), for filing a defamation lawsuit against Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, popularly known as Afia Schwarzenegger.

Okatakyie argued that Sammy Gyamfi lacks the moral right to sue for defamation, accusing him of previously defaming multiple individuals without facing legal consequences.

During his For the Records show on July 23, 2025, Okatakyie mentioned names such as former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and veteran broadcaster Kwame Sefa Kayi, alleging they were among those defamed by Gyamfi during his time as the Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Is it not him who said Hubtel belongs to Dr Bawumia? After defaming everybody in the country as Communications Officer, who took you to court?

“Now you are facing the same fate, and suddenly you know court. Did Dr Bawumia take you to court? And you are running to court, what are you going to do there? Go and withdraw the case for us to think. How did you even feel going to court? You defamed Kwame Sefa Kayi and several others in the country,” he said.

Court documents reviewed by GhanaWeb indicate that Sammy Gyamfi sued Afia Schwarzenegger over comments she made in a publication spoken in Twi.

In the statement referenced, Afia accused Gyamfi of infidelity.

“Tell Sammy Gyamfi’s wife that I am greeting her. Her husband is still buying cars for girls in Legon. I am holding the list. What will make you know that I am holding the list is that I am going to call my informant… I am calling my informant. Akumaa, be wild, be wild, that Sammy Gyamfi’s girl, I have forgotten her name, send it to me again, yes, and add all the list. Yes, send it to me. Send everything. I am waiting.

“So, tell Sammy Gyamfi’s wife that her husband is doing a lot of work at Legon, he is really working there. But truly, what will his wife even say?” the court document quoted her as saying.

In the suit, Sammy Gyamfi, who also remains the National Communications Officer of the NDC, claims the statements are defamatory.

He is asking the court to declare Afia’s comments defamatory and is seeking GH¢10 million in damages…Read More..>>
