Lawyers for Assin South MP, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, have formally demanded Angel Maxine retract social media statements. The MP's legal team sent a letter on April 27, 2026. They accuse Angel Maxine of spreading false claims about him online. These claims allege the MP engaged in same-sex relations with her. The statements appeared on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X.
The lawyers stated the allegations are untrue and lack any factual basis. They described the claims as reckless and malicious. The MP's representatives also emphasized no prior connection exists. "Our Client makes bold to say that you are a complete stranger to him," the letter read. He has never met, spoken to, or associated with her. The MP denies any sexual contact or relationship.
These allegations have caused significant harm to the MP's reputation. They have exposed him to public ridicule and contempt. His personal and professional standing has suffered damage. This legal action highlights the growing impact of social media on public figures. It also touches on discussions around personal conduct and public perception in Ghana.
"Your vile and unguided statements… have exposed our client to public ridicule, contempt, and opprobrium, and have caused substantial and ongoing damage," the legal representatives stated. They are demanding an immediate stop to further statements. Angel Maxine must also issue an unconditional retraction and an unqualified apology. Failure to comply within seven days will lead to legal proceedings.
The legal notice warns of serious consequences. "Take notice… that if you fail, refuse and/or neglect to comply… our Client shall seek legal redress without further recourse to you," the letter cautioned. The MP's camp is determined to protect his image. This case underscores the importance of verifying information shared online. It also points to legal recourse for defamation in Ghana.
