'In the face of allegations of extortion I have caused writs to be filed' - Afenyo-Markin sues Sammy Gyamfi, others
Speaking on JoyNews on Sunday, August 23, the Effutu lawmaker declined to commit to legal action and instead invoked the biblical example of Jesus Christ, who chose to remain silent when accused.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has filed lawsuits against Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi and others over allegations of extortion, according to Parliament on August 24. In the suit, titled Osahene Alexander Afenyo-Markin versus Sammy Adu Gyamfi and Multimedia Group Limited, the Accra High Court case number is GT 1029/2026.
In another case, Osahene Alexander Afenyo-Markin versus Eric Adjei and Peace FM, the Achimota Circuit Court case number is GR/ACH/CC/C5/02/2026. Afenyo-Markin stated his intention to follow due process of law despite the allegations and urged his accusers to report the matter to law enforcement agencies. He warned that there are lines that should not be crossed in political discourse and threatened legal action if his accusers do not come forward.
The allegations arose from a war of words between Afenyo-Markin and GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi over the Bank of Ghana’s Domestic Gold Purchase Programme (DGPP).
