Captain Smart
The government has threatened to file a lawsuit against Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, and Media General Ghana Limited for defamation.
Captain Smart had alleged in a viral video that President Akufo-Addo is actively involved in illegal mining activities.
Unhappy with the claims made against the President, government has also decided to refer the matter to the National Media Commission (NMC) for review and adjudication.
“In response to the content of the said video published and circulated by Onua TV on October 17, 2022, titled “Nana Addo is actively involved in galamsey” and attributed to Captain Smart, the statement condemned the claims made by the Journalist insisting the President has never been and is not involved in galamsey,” the statement added.
