Former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has issued a stern warning to South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, cautioning that any further claims suggesting he moved around with a military convoy will result in legal action.
In a letter dated February 25, 2025, addressed to the legislator, Dame rejected the allegations made on TV3’s The Key Points, describing them as "false, misleading, and a deliberate attempt to tarnish my reputation."
Setting the record straight, he emphasized, "At no point in my eight years of public service did I have more than one bodyguard. I never had a military convoy, nor did I have Land Cruisers full of security officers following me."
Dame dismissed Dafeamekpor’s assertions that his security detail expanded when he transitioned from Deputy Attorney-General to the substantive Attorney-General. "From the moment I was appointed Deputy Attorney-General, I was assigned a single bodyguard based on security assessments. That arrangement remained unchanged until the end of my tenure in January 2025."
He also refuted claims that he lived extravagantly at the expense of the state, stating, "I resided in my private property throughout my time in office, made no claims for government accommodation, and used my own vehicles for official duties in Accra."
Dame has demanded a full retraction of the allegations through the same TV platform where they were made. "I require you to withdraw these baseless claims on The Key Points. Any future publication of such falsehoods will result in a lawsuit for defamation with punitive damages," he warned.
The former Attorney-General also copied the Speaker of Parliament and parliamentary leadership, drawing attention to what he called Dafeamekpor’s "dishonourable conduct outside the House."
