The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has filed a Writ of Summons against the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, and broadcaster Abubakar Alhassan, popularly known as Blakk Rasta, over statements he alleges are false and defamatory.

In a statement issued on Monday, September 28, 2026, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah said he had initiated civil proceedings against the two individuals for what he described as “spewing falsehoods” about him.

“I have today, 28th September 2026, filed a Writ of Summons against the underlisted persons for spewing falsehoods against my person,” he stated.

The Manhyia South MP identified the defendants as Bernard Bediako Baidoo, the Akwatia MP, and Abubakar Alhassan, also known as Blakk Rasta.

He said he had opted to seek redress through the civil courts rather than pursue criminal proceedings over the alleged publication of false information.

“Unlike the government, I have chosen the path of democrats, by seeking relief through civil court rather than pursuing criminal prosecution for the publication of false news,” he said.

The legal action comes amid a wider dispute involving the alleged detention of Salomey Awiti Baffoe and Camilla Alhassan.

Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah alleged that the two women are currently in police custody following what he described as an attempt by state security agencies to intimidate and silence him.

He further alleged that Salomey Baffoe was taken into custody by state security personnel late on Saturday and remains in police detention.

The MP said the development would not deter him from pursuing what he described as his efforts to secure the liberty of the two women.

“The above having been said, I wish to state that the attempt by the government to intimidate and silence me in my quest to fight for the poor mother of three (3) minor children who was kidnapped by state security agents… and remains in police custody has failed,” he stated.

Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah said he remains committed to pursuing the matter and ensuring that Salomey Awiti Baffoe and Camilla Alhassan are reunited with their families.

“I remain committed to fighting for Madam Salomey Awiti Bafoh’s liberty as well as Camilla Alhassan to ensure that they are reunited with their family who await their return,” he added.
