The Management of pro-government newspaper Daily Guide has said they are not aware of any lawsuit against them by the former Chief Executive Officer of COCOBOD Dr Stephen Opuni.
They said they are not running away and that they will prepare their defense if they are served with a writ.
They further warned that they cannot be gagged in the course of their work.
“We don’t even know that he has gone to court. We are only hearing it in the air. I don’t know whether I have been sued or not because I have not be served so I am waiting for him…whatever the case, rushing to the media doesn’t give justice, the court will be given the chance to hear the case, we will all appear before the court and we will make our case before the court. So let him serve us then can prepare our defense. We are waiting for him, we are not running away.
“And let me announce that nobody can gag us, we are not afraid of chasing the story, we are going to chase the stories and nobody can stop us. It’s an attempt to gag us,’ the Editor of Daily Guide Fortune Alimi told Starr News’ Kwaku Obeng Adjei.
Dr Opuni on Tuesday sued the Newspaper for defaming him over some publications that he embezzled funds when he was in the helm of affairs at COCOBOD.
He is demanding, ‘a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant jointly or severally either by themselves or their agents or assigns from further publishing or causing to be printed, published and or distributed the said defamatory words and or similar words’.
