Manhyia South MP sues Akwatia MP, Blakk Rasta for defamation
The lawsuit comes amid heightened public controversy surrounding the MP following an incident at the Accra High Court complex on September 23, when officers of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) attempted to take him into custody.
The MP also linked the legal action to his efforts to secure the rights of a mother of three minor children whom he says was taken into custody by state security agents late on Saturday.
EOCO subsequently confirmed that its officers had attempted to arrest the Manhyia South MP in connection with an ongoing investigation, saying the action followed his failure to honour invitations issued to him in February 2026.
