Businessman Ibrahim Mahama, who is a shareholder of Tamale City FC, has sued UTV and the communication director of the Ghana National Gas Company for defamation.
He is praying the court awards him GH¢ 2 million each from the two parties.
The Engineers and Planners CEO claims Ernest Owusu Bempah was given an opportunity on the TV station's morning show to label him as a thief.
Ibrahim, who is the brother of former Ghana president John Mahama is also praying that the court restrains the two parties from publishing or uttering such comments about him in future.
