Frank Kwaku Appiah, better known as Appiah Stadium, has reached out to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the Ashanti Regional Minister for assistance in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by Kofi Job, a road contractor.

Appiah Stadium, a well-known NDC supporter and frequent caller, is accused of making defamatory remarks about Kofi Job, who is based in Kumasi. In retaliation, Kofi Job is seeking GHC 5 million in damages and a retraction of the alleged false statements.

In an effort to settle the matter peacefully, Appiah Stadium has appealed to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, and the Ashanti Regional Minister. He hopes that their esteemed positions can help mediate a resolution and avoid a lengthy legal battle.

This situation highlights the considerable respect and influence that Otumfuo and the Regional Minister hold in the Ashanti Region. Their intervention could set a precedent for using traditional and governmental mediation in legal disputes in Ghana.

Appiah Stadium approached Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during the Green Ghana Day tree planting event at the Kumasi Golf Park, following Otumfuo’s morning golf session.
