Chief Executive Officer of Goldbod, Sammy Gyamfi, has filed a writ of summons at the High Court, Accra, seeking damages against media personality Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, known as Afia Schwarzenegger, for alleged defamatory remarks circulated via social media.
The suit, issued on July 22, 2025, with leave for service outside jurisdiction, centers on a series of statements made by the Defendant in Asante Twi, which the Plaintiff claims tarnishes his reputation.
According to court documents, the remarks included: “Tell Sammy Gyamfi’s wife that I am greeting her. Her husband is still buying cars in Legon… I am calling my informant… Send me everything… Let’s discuss this.”
These statements, the Plaintiff argues, constitute defamation of character.
He is, therefore, seeking general damages against the defendant herein for defamation of character.
“Exemplary damages of Ten Million Ghana Cedis (GH¢10,000,000.00) against the Defendant.
“An order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant…from further publication. A retraction and unqualified apology…to be published on the front and back pages of The Daily Graphic newspaper on three (3) consecutive occasions” and on TikTok and other platforms where the statements appeared.
The damages also includes “Costs inclusive of Counsel’s fees.”
