Former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has demanded a full retraction of claims that he moved around with a military convoy while in office.

He described the allegations, made by South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor on TV3’s The Key Points, as "blatantly false and misleading."

In a letter dated February 25, 2025, Dame firmly refuted the claims, stating, "At no point in my eight-year public service did I have more than one bodyguard. I never had a military convoy or a Land Cruiser full of security officers following me."

Dafeamekpor had alleged that Dame, even as a Deputy Attorney-General, had a large security escort, which increased when he was appointed as Attorney-General. But Dame dismissed this, asserting, "The allegations by you are a fabrication and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public."

He further clarified that his security detail remained unchanged throughout his tenure. "As Deputy Attorney-General, I was assigned one bodyguard following a security risk assessment. When I became Attorney-General, I retained the same single bodyguard until I left office in January 2025."

Dame also addressed suggestions that he lived extravagantly at the expense of the state. "I stayed in my private property throughout my time in office, never applied for state accommodation funds, and used my own vehicles for official duties in Accra," he stated.

Insisting on a retraction, Dame warned of legal consequences if the claims were repeated. "I require you to withdraw these falsehoods on the same platform where you made them. Any future repetition will result in legal action for defamation."

The former Attorney-General also copied the Speaker of Parliament and parliamentary leadership, highlighting what he termed Dafeamekpor’s "dishonourable conduct outside the House of Parliament."
