Barimah Saasi Ayeboafo II, Chief of Mamponteng in the Kwabre Municipality of Ashanti region has filed a lawsuit against Prophet Roja over a prophecy predicting his death and the demise of other sub-chiefs in his palace.
Other co defendants in the suit are; Angel Broadcasting Network and Ali Baba Dankambary, a worker at Angel FM.
The lawsuit stems from a live broadcast where Prophet Roja allegedly made statements that the Chief considers a direct threat to his life and the safety of his subordinates.
The Mamponteng chief is seeking general damages of Ten Million Cedis (GH¢10,000,000.00) for defamation, an order compelling the Defendants to retract the defamatory statements and render an unqualified apology.
He is also seeking an order to compel the 1st Defendant to permanently erase and delete the defamatory statements from all its media platforms, a retraction of the prophecy, a public apology and substantial financial compensation for the distress caused him.
The writ sighted by The Chronicle also seeks a perpetual injunction to restrain Prophet Roja, Ali Baba Dankambary, Angel Broadcasting Network and their associates from further publishing or broadcasting defamatory statements against the Chief on all media platforms.
During a live broadcast on Kumasi-based Angel FM, Prophet Roja allegedly prophesied doom for the Chief and his sub-chiefs, warning that the Oyoko family within the Manhyia Palace should exercise caution in their spiritual practices.
The Chief asserts that, should any harm befall him or his associates, Prophet Roja should be held accountable.
