The others are Kofi Afful, Gomoa Central Constituency Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Kobina Ansah, Aka Nana Okwadum Ansah, Ex-Chief of Gomoa Abaasa, Yaw Alhasan, Chief Imam of Gomoa Abaasa, Kobina Kwansah, Abusuapanyin of Omankrado, Kweku Anim, Kwesi Fenyi and Kwesi Dum, opinion leader.

 The defendants were cited for contempt following the defamation statement made against Nana Okwadum Atta IX, Chief of Gomoa Abaasa after the Judicial Committee of Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Area ruled in his favour as Odikro.

The fact of the case was that Nana Okwadum Atta did not take the matter kindly and filed a writ to sue them, demanding damages. Justice Peter Dei Offei who presided over the court, in a ruling said the defiant defendants in 2014 while the matter was before the court wrote a resolution against the decision of the Judicial Committee.

   The court ruled that copies of the resolution signed by the defendants were circulated to the Judicial Committee of Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Area, Agona Swedru Divisional Police Commander, Agona Swedru Divisional Commander of the Bureau of National Investigation and others to declare their stance.

    According to the court the resolution disregarded and lowered the powers of Judicial Committee of the Traditional Council.

    It also ruled that the defendant’s behaviour was an obvious attempt to show disrespect and effort made to bring the Judicial Committee into disrepute, which must be condemned with uncertainty.
