My Eyes Are Wide Open! I Will No More Tolerate Any Malicious Allegations - Kweku Baako
Seasoned journalist, Kweku Baako says he is no more entertaining any malicious allegations against his personality.
According to him, any person who dares link him to illegal activities must be ready with substantial evidence but he will not tolerate any more accusations targeted at him.
Contributing to Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Mr. Baako said he has been using the media to fight off allegations and would naturally leave issues regarding him to the court of opinion; however going forward; he will take legal actions.
Kweku Baako issued this warning when he was commenting on his defamation suit against Member of Parliament for Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Agyapong.
The vociferous Parliamentarian, in 2018, after an undercover work by Anas Aremeyaw Anas to expose illegal mining activities in Ghana, made wild allegations against Kweku Baako and his protégé.
He accused them of being involved in illegal mining and other illegal activities, and so impugned the integrity of Anas Aremeyaw Anas as well as the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Kweku Baako.
Kweku Baako, on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 also filed a defamation suit against Kennedy Agyapong at the Accra High Court and prayed the court to order him to retract and apologize for his words.
He also sought reliefs to a sum of GHC 25 million.
The Accra High Court ruled, in June this year, that Mr. Agyapong should render an unqualified apology to Kweku Baako using the mediums he made his defamatory statements and has issued a 30-day ultimatum to the Assin Central MP.
Mr. Agyapong is also to pay GHC 100000 and GHC 30000 as cost of legal expenses to Mr. Baako.
Addressing his legal victory, Mr. Baako told host Kwami Sefa Kayi; ''Our eyes and ears are wide opened, any further malicious allegations against me; we'll go back to the same forum and tackle the issues there...I'm very capable if it's facts and counterfacts. If it's evidence, I'm not boasting, I'm capable; perhaps more than that but I won't use the radio and TV''.
