Brief Background
Afia Schwar’s woes began when she publicly alleged to have dated Chairman Wontumi and accused him of having intimate affair with her.
Wontumi filed a defamation suit against her. But the issue subsequently became a topic of discussion on UTV’s United Showbiz hosted by Nana Ama McBrown.
Maurice Ampaw, the lawyer for Wontumi, dragged Fadda Dickson, McBrown, and her panelists, A-Plus and Mr. Logic, to court for contempt after publicly discussing the merits of the suit which was pending in court.
They were all convicted and fined the sum of GH¢60,000 each. In default, they are to spend two months in jail.
However, the substantive defamation suit is still ongoing. Wontumi is seeking 2 billion cedis in damages as well as a jail sentence for Afia Schwar.
