Publications of falsehood within the media space seems not to be ending, as this time round the Web has caught up with a renowned sports journalist, Collins Atta Poku who is based in Kumasi.
In a letter dated 10th January, 2025 by the SUSTINERI ATTORNEYS, a legal services representative of Mr Sharaf Mahama has asked Mr Atta Poku to retract and render an unqualified apology for a false and defamatory publication made by the media personnel and published on Ghanaweb and other social media platforms.
The said falsehood was in relation to a publication on Ghanaweb linked to Sharaf Mahama under the heading, “Sharaf Mahama clashed with Kurt Okraku after Ghana lost to Angola in Kumasi” as alleged by Atta Poku, has drawn the attention of the attorneys of Mahama, whom deems such publication as defamatory to their client and therefore a demand for retraction and an unqualified apology from the publisher.
Sharaf Mahama, who over the years has shown interest and love in sports development, is the founder and Executive Chairman of the Sharaf Mahama Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, with the aim to promote the well being of the underprivileged in the areas of health, education and sports in society.
