Former Inspector-General of Police, David Asante-Apeatu, has sued Net-2 TV presenter, Justice Kweku Annan for defamation.
The defendant is the host of the station’s popular talk show known as The Seat.
Kweku Annan is said to have claimed on the June 16, 2021, edition of the show that, the former IGP is a fence for notorious Ghanaian and Nigerian criminals.
In addition, he alleged that Mr. Asante-Apeatu was on the payroll of top criminals in Ghana, and had refused to cause the arrest and prosecution of these criminals.
Not only that, the TV Presenter accused the former IGP of working in cahoots with hardened international criminals to unleash terror on Ghanaians.
But the plaintiff in his writ averred that the accusations are figments of the defendant’s imagination, hence his lawsuit.
According to the former IGP, the TV presenter mischievously calculated the allegations in a manner that was to damage his reputation and cause him public disaffection.
