The defendants are Nana Obiri Boahen (Deputy General Secretary), Kwame Baffoe, alias Abronye DC (Brong Ahafo Youth Organiser) and David Asante (Member of the NPP’s Communication team). Mr Adams said in his statement of claim that the three NPP officials made separate comments suggesting he stole five cars that were seized from his residence a few weeks ago.

All eight claims are listed below as follows:

Doing so separately and in the Daily Graphic newspaper and for same to be given equal prominence and the complained comment/broadcast/publication within 14 days from the day of judgment
(ii) an order that the content of relief (i) above be subject to the prior approval of plaintiff and for defendants to personally and separately read out same on all media networks mentioned in paragraphs 12 above and doing so within 14 days from the day of judgement

Kofi you will be exposed in court prepare to provide documents that covers your monthly salary how you were able to buy those cars and put up the building you are leaving in.We shall listen.
Stoupid Kofi Adams. He said the ff to Prof Martey:the ***barred word*** talks ***barred word*** while the wise talks wisely.
So can't ppl do things right in this country without being tagged or insulted? The fact that u suspect something doesn't mean its the truth. If due diligence was done bu these ppl who are being sued today they would not have gotten themselves entangled with such things. Moreover the deputy general secretary of NPP is a lawyer and should have known better. This should serve as a warning to All that before u do things be sure u have the right information first.
ajd wo mame tweeeeeee3
Kofi Adams Wo maaaaaame tw3 ooooooooooo
i wonder how some people think in this country, you want kofi Adams to prove how he bought his cars? wait he will prove you okay
1m each naa punch kofi eeeeeeeee. This your case does not need adjudication, you've won already. Thumps up kofi, I like your style.
Dear readers, we will all be well informed and try to make correct judgement if we take our time read and make the necessary comments we are supposed to without insulting anybody. Ghana our dear nation will never move forward if we continue insulting elderly people just because our computers provides a coward opportunity for us to do so. Put all those radicals insulting Ken Dapaah in front of the man and see if they can utter a word or say Kofi Adams and see if any one of you disrespectful lads can challenge with all those dead argument you keep making with a "a lowly teacher/organizer" how he get so much money to buy cars. My brothers the law is the law and ignorance of the law is definitely not and excuse. Kan Dapaah did the right thing or else he will be mention in this suit together with the loud mouth Obiri Boahene. Do you guys have any prove of scrape Chassis? do you have a prove of a government ownership. Weather the cars were stolen or not the law has been tested and proven that indeed those cars belongs to him period, is left with you to come to term with that but does not make Kofi Adams a ***barred word*** or whatsoever. A wrong in the past is definitely a wrong now and in the future. we as citizen have been politically brain washed always thinking one sided, the fact that NPP is in power does not make NDC officials guilty of any crime until it proven by a competent court. Hope you've all learn some sense.
He is owing ADB...he can't pay off his loan....i blame that fffooolish man called kan dapaah...he must go.nana addo sack man...abronye has fought a good fight only to be ruined by the minister for justice....
Kan Dapaah is the cause of all these. he is the first minister bootlickerr to the NDC. as if he is afraid of them. a minister of his calibre should be tough and bold and not some soft person begging people like kofi adams. KAN DAPAAH MUST GO.
