Ghana Gold Board CEO Sammy Gyamfi filed a GH₵10 million defamation lawsuit against media personality Afia Schwarzenegger on 23 July 2025, alleging damaging false comments posted on social media. Afia had accused him of infidelity, relationships with university students, and gifting vehicles to female students at the University of Ghana.
The suit seeks general and exemplary damages, a public apology, retraction, and a restraining order to prevent further defamatory remarks. In response, Afia fired back on social media, warning Gyamfi that his “political career would be over,” and calling the suit frivolous.
Legal analysts observe that the case may set an important precedent in Ghana regarding online speech, celebrity influence, and political defamation. With high-profile figures on both sides, many are watching to see how the courts balance reputation, freedom of expression, and accountability in the digital era.
