Nungua Traditional Head summons radio presenter over alleged Defamation comment

A radio presenter with Accra based Angel FM – Okatakiye Afrifa-Mensah, has been summoned to appear before the Head of The Nungua Traditional Area.

The invitation extended to Okatakiye Afrifa-Mensah by the Elders, stems from Mr. Afrifa-Mensah’s purported disparaging remarks against Nuumo Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse, Overlord of the Gadangme State, and King Odaifio Welentsi III, Paramount Chief of Nungua Traditional Area.

The contentious statements were allegedly made during a radio broadcast on Angel FM, prompting swift action from the Traditional Council.

“I have been instructed by the Elders of the Nungua Traditional Area, to invite you to the palace concerning the false, unsavory and desecrating statements you made against Nuumo Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse, Overlord of the Gadangme State and King Odaifio Welentsi III, Paramount Chief of Nungua Traditional Area during a radio show at Angel FM”

Scheduled for Friday, April 12th, 2024, at 11:00 am, the meeting will take place at the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse’s Palace, known locally as the Nungua Gborbu Koo Naa. The Elders have emphasized the gravity of the situation, urging Mr Afrifa-Mensah to approach the summons with due respect.

The letter of invitation noted that the outcome of the meeting could have far-reaching implications for both parties involved.

“Your meeting with the Elders is scheduled for Friday 12th April, 2024 at 11:00am at the Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse’s Palace (Nungua Gborbu Koo Naa)”

Please treat this letter with all respect it deserves, the letter concluded.
