Lawyers representing John Ntim Fordjour, a Member of Parliament in Ghana, have issued a formal demand for retraction and apology over alleged defamatory statements circulated online by Angel Maxine.
In a letter dated April 27, 2026, the law firm Nkrumah and Associates, acting on behalf of the MP, accused Angel Maxine of publishing and spreading false claims about their client on digital platforms including Instagram, TikTok and X.
The lawyers stated that the claims, which allege that the MP is gay and had a sexual relationship with the individual, are false and without any factual basis.
They stressed that their client does not know the individual and has never met, communicated or had any form of relationship with them.
According to the lawyers, the widespread circulation of the claims has subjected the MP to public ridicule and caused significant reputational harm, both personally and professionally.
The legal team has therefore demanded that Angel Maxine immediately stop making any further statements about the MP.
The letter further warns that failure to comply within seven days of the notice will result in legal action, highlighting increasing scrutiny over the use of social media and the global implications of alleged defamation in the digital age.
