Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, the Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, has filed a lawsuit against Samuel Bryan Buabeng, a Facebook user, for allegedly posting defamatory words and photographs on his profile. The allegations, which were published on September 22, 2026, accuse Opare of being involved in narcotics trafficking and abusing her position of office.
In her court filing, Opare is demanding a substantial sum of GH¢10 million in damages, along with aggravated and exemplary damages. She is also requesting a court order for the removal of the defamatory content within seven days of the judgment, as well as a worldwide retraction and apology published on the same Facebook page, prominently displayed for 30 days.
Additionally, she is seeking a perpetual injunction to prevent the defendant, his associates, and their representatives from further disseminating the defamatory material. Failure to respond to the lawsuit within eight days of service may result in a default judgment against Buabeng.
