The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says he has instructed his lawyers to act on the injunction filed against him by Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng
The revered man of God filed a court action against the NDC MP restraining him from further publications on him. Ablakwa has over the past weeks been on a crusade to expose underhand dealings in the building of the National Cathedral which has largely focused on Kusi Boateng who also doubles as a member of the Board of Trustees.
According to the NDC MP, his lawyers have been instructed to study the suit and take the necessary legal action on the case.
Kusi-Boateng on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, filed a court action against Ablakwa restraining him from further publications on him. But bailiffs tried in vain to serve the MP with the writs and finally did so on Friday, February 3, 2023, after a studio session at Accra-based Metro TV.
Ablakwa has over the past weeks been on a crusade to expose underhand dealings in the construction of the National Cathedral which has largely focused on Kusi-Boateng who is accused of holding multiple identities.
Taking to his social media handles to react to the development, Ablakwa said the injunction will not deter him from proceeding with his anti-corruption crusade.
“One Kwabena Adu Gyamfi also claiming to have an alias as Victor Kusi Boateng has secured a 10-day restraining order seeking to stop me from further publications on the Conflict of Interest & Double Identity Scandal. My lawyers duly instructed. Truth & Justice shall not be buried,” he said.
Netizens have been reacting to the injunction against the NDC MP, some of which are sampled below.
Kicking the said court documents away isn’t a way an MP should behave towards an officer of the court Can you explain why you did that?
If you have a case against him and truly believe you have a case, go to court and stop disturbing our ears with this brouhaha. Wo pɛ fans dodo..
This is to show something is definitely wrong with our judicial system. How can you even grant an order for injunction with two different identities on the same document for the same applicant. How does it even work?
Truth always wins. Keep up the good work. Our prayers are with you always. For God and country.
Just continue after the 10days …truth always wins… If he has any tangible reason why he has two names he should make it clear and if it makes sense and legal he walks free if not his deeds will be exposed to all.
Rev. Kusi-Boateng to face 3-year jail term if prosecuted over multiple Identities saga
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Rev. Kusi-Boateng faces a three-year prison term if found guilty of possessing multiple identities.
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh on the back of this, a private legal practitioner said as per the laws of the land, a person who deliberately uses different names with different birthdates on different documents is liable for prosecution.
