The Chief Executive Officer of the Multimedia Group, Kwasi Twum, the Multimedia Group and one of its subsidiaries, Joy FM are heading to court today, Wednesday, September 1, over “repeated false and defamatory statements” made by Kennedy Agyapong in July on his radio and television stations.
The suit is as a result of remarks made by Ken Agyapong when he was cautioned by lawyers of Multimedia over some comments made earlier about Joy FM’s Ashanti Region correspondent’s reportage on the Ejura violence.
Kennedy Agyapong, on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 said; “Joy FM the drugs that were used to establish your firm if you joke I will expose you,” the Chairman of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee had said.
“Jones is not dead, I will show you people where you used to send the drugs.”
A statement released in the early hours of Wednesday morning said, “Joy FM, The Multimedia Group and the Chief Executive Officer, Kwasi Twum have been compelled and have taken a firm decision to afford the MP, his media organization and three (3) of his employees, the opportunity to prove the allegations in court”.
