The headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Zakaria Abdulai, has filed a defamation suit against investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni and the Multimedia Group Limited, seeking GH¢2 million in damages over alleged defamatory publications.

In a writ of summons and statement of claim filed at the High Court in Accra, Mr Abdulai is asking the court to declare statements allegedly made and published by the defendants about him as false, defamatory and malicious.

The suit, dated October 16, 2026, concerns publications the plaintiff says were made in May 2023 on Multimedia Group's broadcasting platforms, including Joy FM, Adom FM, MyJoyOnline and Joy TV, through programmes identified in the court documents as the Super Morning Show and its midmorning show.

According to the statement of claim, Mr Abdulai, a Director of Education with the Ghana Education Service (GES), is also a leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and serves as the party's secretary in the Juaben Constituency.

The plaintiff alleges that the publications accused him of sexually harassing female students at Obuasi Senior High Technical School.

He further claims that the publications alleged that a female student who had suffered sexual abuse presented a pair of shorts stained with his semen to the first defendant.
