If he feels he has any document that proves contrary, I am sure he can submit those documentations to the Police.It is clear however that while he was all over the place making those baseless and unfounded allegations, he never showed a shred of evidence to back his claim.

As a lawyer who has developed expertise in the law of defamation, I am clearly aware of the attempt he is making; but they are belated. He is seeking to have an answer in court in his defence; but it is belated and he cannot be rescued. We have been instructed by our client to take legal action against Obiri Boahen. We have documentation and we will prefer for him to come to court to show how the cars were stolen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawyer for National Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams, has said his client will sue the Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Obiri Boahen, for alleging that he stole vehicles belonging to the state.
