Deputy Minister of Information and Media Relations, Murtala Mohamed has threatened to take legal action against the Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Ernest Owusu-Bempah for alleging he is a fraudster. According to the Deputy Minister of Information and Media Relations, this is not to prevent criticism as he is not above reproach, but he would not allow a deliberate fabrication of stories about his persona aimed at damaging his reputation. ��if this thing persists, I would have to take legal action to deal with him,� he fumed on Metro TV�s �Good Morning Ghana� programme. This warning comes on the back of a claim by Ernest Owusu-Bempah that, the Deputy Minister of Information �was arrested in Nigeria in connection with visa fraud�. He further dared Hon. Murtala Mohammed to come out and deny the story �If he is a man�. ��he should come out and dare me. I have my evidence; he should publicly come out to defend himself. I don�t fear him. He should tell Ghanaians whether he is not a visa fraudster,� he dared. But the out-spoken Murtala Mohammed believes it is an attempt by his detractors who have failed to shut him down, to use dubious means to tarnish his image.
