The Court of Appeal in Kumasi has dismissed a bid by Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye and the Bono Regional NPP Chairman, to halt the defamation suit filed by lawyer and journalist Samson Lardy Anyenini. The three-member panel dismissed the application on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, and awarded Abronye GH¢10,000 in costs.
The defamation suit, filed in April 2025, concerns allegations that Anyenini made on Wontumi TV and Radio, describing Abronye as a thief, dishonest, and corrupt. Abronye has yet to file a Statement of Defence, and the allegations remain contested by Anyenini. The Court of Appeal's latest ruling removes the procedural obstacle preventing the defamation action from proceeding at the Kumasi High Court.
