Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, has hit back at the Member of Parliament for Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Agyepong, over allegations of corruption the latter made against him.

This was after Kennedy Agyepong threatened to make public a video which will expose Kweku Baako as a corrupt person.

Making a submission on ‘The Seat Show’ on Net TV, Monday, July 19, the NPP MP said: “I’m warning the NPP to be careful with Kweku Baako and Anas else they will topple their government. He is a very vicious and corrupt guy. NPP should listen to me very well, he is not on our side. They think Kweku Baako supports us but he does not. He’s a very wicked guy. He walks with his stomach. He can go to court, I’m saying he is a wicked man What has he achieved in this country? He moves around and speaks like he knows more than anyone in this world“.

Legal Tussle

The duo landed in court over charges of defamation filed against the maverick NPP MP, and the court ruled in favour of the renowned journalist.

Not satisfied with the court’s decision, Hon Ken Agyepong asked his lawyers to file an appeal. Thus, the watching and reading public are smacking their lips in earnest anticipation of what is likely to be a tasty legal tussle.

But even before that court of appeal meeting, Round Two of the "bout" played out on Wednesday on Peace FM, when Kweku Baako threw down the gauntlet at the NPP MP to show the said video or he will sue him again.

“I made a critique of his conduct relative to that threat which was the subject matter of discussion. He is entitled to criticize my opinion of him mercilessly and violently but he is not entitled to go out there and slander and think I will let it slide. I didn’t care previously but for him particularly, you can either criticize or drag him to the court of law," he stressed.
