The suit borders around the alleged misappropriation of GHC49 million by the former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General.

Following a breakdown of the disbursements of the said amount for various projects, the Assin South MP took to X to question Defeamekpor for his role in the receipt of over GHc300,000 by the Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation Committee.

In a social media post, Rev Ntim Fordjour demanded answers from Dafeamekpor who at the time was vice chairman of the Committee.

He is seeking a declaration by the High Court that the social media post is false, malicious and defamatory; a perpetual restraining order against the respondent and his agents from making further statements; an apology; general damages; aggravated damages; compensatory damages; and legal costs.
