BREAKING NEWS: Kwesi Nyantakyi's $2m defamatory suit against Songo, Abatay and Multimedia adjourned to 29th November; Counsel for defendants refuse to file for defence

Published on: 15 November 2016

The famous defamatory suit slapped against sports presenters Patrick Osei Agyemang (Songo), Kofi Asare Brako (Abatay) and Multimedia Group Limited has been adjourned again to the 29th of November following the defendants' counsel's refusal to file for defence after hearing was opened today.

According to the counsel for the defendants Mr. Shadrack Ahen, his clients have apologised for defaming the Ghana FA Boss and FIFA Council member Kwesi Nyantakyi hence deciding not to file for defence.

He argued that the counsel for the plaintiff should read the apology along with the plaintiff and if they are dissatisfied, he will then file for defence for the full hearing of the case.

Counsel for the defendants (Songo, Abatay and Multimedia) pleaded with the court that the due process of issuing an apology to the Ghana FA Boss Kwesi Nyantakyi has been followed and that they expect the plaintiff's counsel to acknowledge that.

Counsel for the plaintiff (Kwesi Nyantakyi), Mr. Felix Ahenkan prayed to the court that his chamber has not seen the said apology as being alluded by the counsel for the defendants insisting the hearing must start but the counsel for the defendants rebutted that the apology was rendered with the full consent of a senior member in the chamber of the counsel for the Kwesi Nyantakyi.

Kwesi Nyantakyi's counsel then prayed to the court to give him some time to look for the said apology to read and then report back to the court on a set date.

Both parties agreed that the next date of sitting should be the 29th of November 2016.

Multimedia group issued an apology on the web portal myjoyonline just a week ago after the two, Songo and Abatay disappeared in court for the first hearing and want to use it as an exhibit in court.

This is the third time the case has been adjourned as the judge could not report to court on the first date (2nd November) as well as the two (Songo and Abatey) chickening out of court after showing up on the second hearing on 9th November.

The Ghana FA Boss slapped the $2m defamatory suit against them after he was tagged as a thief, a corrupt person and above all an irresponsible leader for the past five years on Asempa FM by Songo and Abatay.
