Sources say the intention of the fake publication was to cause dissatisfaction and fear among the teeming supporters of Paul Ofori Amoah, who is tipped to win the Constituency for the opposition National Democratic Congress in this year’s elections.

DISREGARD FAKE NEWS ON THE DETENTION OF AGONA WEST NDC PC
The attention of the Agona West NDC has been drawn to a publication of a fake story on the detention or arrest of our Parliamentary Candidate, Hon Paul Ofori-Amoah.
We wish to clarify for the avoidance of doubt that, there’s been no such detention or arrest and that our teeming supporters, sympathizers and followers should treat the fake news with the contempt that it deserves.
We are reliably aware this is coming from the quarters of the failed Agona West MP, Cynthia Morrison trying desperately to Court public sympathy, sensing imminent defeat.
We are very focused on winning both Parliamentary and Presidential elections and we won’t be distracted by such jokes.
However, notice is served to the editors of the online portals for the publication of this fake news, we will not hesitate in suing the editors for defamation if they fail to retract the story and apologize for same.
Signed,
