The suit, initiated through a writ issued by his legal team at Nkrumah & Associates, follows statements allegedly made by Baba Jamal Konneh during a live radio broadcast on Okay FM on February 13, 2026. According to the court filings, the statements were not framed as opinion or political rhetoric but were presented as direct assertions of fact, suggesting personal knowledge and eyewitness credibility. Oppong Nkrumah, who has built a long public career spanning journalism, law, corporate advisory work, and frontline politics, insists the claims are entirely false, reckless, and malicious. He argues that the broadcast deliberately portrayed him as complicit in criminal activity, corrupt, morally unfit for public office, and hostile to the national interest. As MP for a constituency with significant cocoa-growing communities, Oppong Nkrumah maintains that the accusations falsely cast him as a betrayer of his own constituents and a destroyer of their economic lifeline.
