Controversial artiste, Kwame Asare Obeng affectionately called A Plus has released venom on people threatening legal suits against him.
A Plus, in a Facebook rant, says such people are nothing but "idiots" who want to cowed him into submission with their threats.
According to him, he is not an afraid of being arraigned before court, describing himself as a "wild lion".
Communications Minister, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has asked for an unqualified apology from the controversial musician cum politician saying if she will proceed to court if he refuses to comply with the directive.
"We are informed that you (A Plus) have published series of defamatory statements on Facebook about our client ostensibly to tarnish her hard won reputation and to reduce her image in the eyes of right thinking members of society...We are instructed to notify you that our client takes a serious view of your defamatory publication on Facebook and would not hesitate to commence legal action against you if the said publication is not retracted on or before Friday, 1st June, 2018.
"Please be informed that if you fail to retract and apologize to our client on or before Friday, 1st June, 2018, we shall proceed to court..." a statement by her Solicitors read.
The Minister, through her Counsel "Safo and Marfo@Law", has given A Plus an ultimatum of three (3) days to "render unqualified apology in the same medium and prominence in the manner that your libelous publication was done" and retract his statements or will be dragged to court to "vindicate our client's rights without any further recourse to you".
Also, the Deputy Chief of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye has given A Plus seven (7) days to retract and apologize for defaming him or he too will proceed to court.
Solicitors for the Deputy Chief of Staff, A-partners @ law in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com asked the musician to retract through the "same publicity and prominence as the defamatory claims and must be unequivocal, unconditional and subject to the prior approval of our client and his Solicitors.
"We have firm instructions to, without further notice to you and upon your failure, neglect or refusal to fully satisfy our client's demands herein, take out a suit and hold you, and such as are carelessly and maliciously repeating the false claims, liable".
But A Plus has rubbished the threats by both parties, stating emphatically that "...Any idiot can go to court!!!"
"...for those saying I've been sued, for your information I've been sued since 1999.... even Richard Annane threatened to sue me. Any idiot can go to court!!!”
“😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 😏 if I appologise Nimokafui and Ayetefrem and chalabim and Salafim should kill me..." he stressed.

This man should learn lesson and stop this selfish thinking. After all who is you.
this A plus is a greedy bastard. this is all due to greediness. if u think someone is corrupt why not report her with ur evidence to Mr. Amidu and see what happens. instead u choose to soil the person's name on social media. i use to side with this guy when ndc was in power bcos i did not know he will be this greedy tho i saw it in his eyes. he has to show some respect to ple. durin mahama's time there was nothing like special prosecutor so i understand bcos even if u report to the police they will kill the case right there. so social media was the best place to deal with them. but now we have to follow due process and stop f00l>ing around. I am not saying we shd support corrupt ple but we have to deal with the situation in the right way now that we have a special prosecutor. NPP shd be careful of this guy.
Masa if you're deliberately soiling the name of this lady and Asenso, no that you're digging an early grave for yourself
2020 is not for weak hearts in politics. only the brave will survive. false religions, false politicians, and false appearances will all be laid bare...yes, false journalists...will all be humiliatedb y the piercing eyes the public. eighteen months more!!
a ***barred word*** like her.who dose she think she is. ***barred word***!!!
it serves her right.she is just a criminal
I am counting. When you are brought before the courts, you would let the world know if free speech is indeed free. Go on "yabbing".
hahahahaha, am just loving this A-plus guy
It serves them right. What were they thinking when they were instigating A PLUS against President Mahama? When Ursula was busy insulting Pres. Mahama and calling him names, was she arrested? She should ***barred word*** and let sleeping dogs lie....and enjoy the insult from A-Plus. They are ripping what they sow......The law of karma is at play.................
THE FACT REMAINS THAT, UNDER THE PREVIOUS REGIME/NDC ,CUSTOMERS WERE GIVEN SUBSIDIES(SUBSIDY1, SUBSIDY 2, SUBSIDY 3 AND UTILITY RELIEF) WHICH CUSTOMERS POPULAR CALLED BONUS. UNDER THE CURRENT ARRANGEMENT UNDER NPP, NPP IN A DISGUISE APPROACH, DID A SWAP. REDUCED ONE COMPONENT OF THE BILL WHICH IS THE ENERGY CHARGE AND CLANDESTINELY WITHRAWED THE SUBSIDIES/BONUSES. THE NET EFFECT IS ZERO OR MINIMAL CHANGE ON CUSTOMERS BILL OR MONTHLY PREPAYMENT AMOUNT. PURC IS AWARE OF THESE GOLDEN FACTS BUT ARE JUST MISCHIEVOUS TO DO THE BIDDING OF GHANA TO SACRIFICE ECG. IS PURC SAYING THAT THEIR MONITORING HAS DONE ANY SAMPLE AUDIT ON ECG SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TARIFF
