Nana Romeo Sues Sally Mann And Three Others; Demands GH₵1M In Damages For Defamation

Accra FM radio presenter Abdul Karim, popularly known as Nana Romeo, has filed a lawsuit against entertainment pundit Sally Frimpong Mann, and two others, for defamation.

Nana Romeo is demanding a sum of GH₵1 million in damages for what he describes as malicious and reckless statements made against his character.

Details of the Case

The lawsuit, filed in the High Court of Justice, accuses Sally Mann of making defamatory remarks about Nana Romeo, which were subsequently republished by the fourth defendant, Clement Asamoah, on social media platforms.

According to the statement of claim, these statements were not only damaging to Nana Romeo’s reputation but were also false and lacked factual basis. The plaintiff, who has built a solid reputation as a broadcaster over the years, stated that the comments have the potential to tarnish his image, which he has diligently nurtured through hard work and dedication.

Nana Romeo also highlighted his recognition in the industry, including his Best Male Radio Host award at the Time Ghana Arts and Entertainment Awards 2021 and his appointment as a board member of the Ohio African Community Excellence Awards, USA.

Reliefs Sought

Nana Romeo’s legal team, led by Samuel Kissiedu, Esq., is requesting the court to:

• Declare the statements made by the defendants defamatory.
• Order the defendants to retract the defamatory statements and issue an unqualified apology, which should be published in the Daily Graphic and all social media platforms.
• Award general damages of GH₵1,000,000 for defamation.
• Grant aggravated damages for the malicious and reckless publication of the defamatory remarks.
• Issue an injunction restraining the defendants from making any further defamatory statements against Nana Romeo.
• The case brings to light the increasing tension between media personalities and the potential repercussions of comments made in the public domain.
