Ekow Vincent Assafuah, the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, is demanding a retraction and apology for defamatory statements published against him linking him to the late Samuel Aboagye’s widow.
In a statement filed by lawyers for Ekow Vincent Assafuah revealed that he is demanding an apology from 4 social media users over false claims linking him to late Samuel Aboagye’s widow or face a lawsuit.
In a social media post, the Old Tafo MP stated, “My lawyer has served a formal notice demanding the retraction and apology of defamatory statements published about me by the Deputy CEO for Petroleum Hub Development Corporation and 3 others.
Reputation is a priceless asset built through years of service, sacrifice, and integrity”.
In one of the claims against the MP, the social media user identified as Abena Afriyie stated, “At such age having occupied deputy ministerial position and being MP and if you can’t find a wife but go after people’s legitimate wives then you are cursed. RIP Samuel Aboagye”.
Also, Vincent Assafuah has boldly stated, he is not the father of the late Samuel Aboagye’s child.
According to Vincent Assafuah, Ghanaians should stop calling and tagging him.
In a Facebook post, he stated, “I’m not the father of Samuel Aboagye’s child. Stop calling and tagging me.”
The rumpus follows: the family of Samuel Aboagye is requesting a DNA test to confirm the paternity of a child he shared with his wife, Abigail Aboagye.
The family has sued her for obstructing the investigation, but she’s also asking the court to stop the DNA test mission.
However, Abigail Aboagye has refused to consent to the test and has filed a petition in court to stop the family from proceeding with it.
Rumours suggest, Abigail Aboagye was allegedly having an affair with one Ashanti Region MP (name withheld), even before he passed away.
In court, Mrs Aboagye’s legal representatives have reportedly filed a motion asking the court to reject the family’s request.
The Obuasi District Court has adjourned the case to December 23, 2025.
Angel FM Kumasi (ABN) reporter, Chuku Joseph, detailing the matter on Angel FM Kumasi, stated, “Ali (Host), what is happening is that among the helicopter crash victims was Samuel Aboagye, the Deputy NADMO Director. We were called by Nana Kwabena Gyamara Oyiakwan II, the Chief of Adansi Kwapia and elder brother of Samuel, to witness the court proceedings.
“The issue is that after Samuel’s death, his wife, Abigail, was contacted for a DNA test requested by the government to confirm the identities of the crash victims.
He added, “At the time, she was in the United States. She initially agreed to provide their child for the test, but when the date arrived, several calls to her went unanswered. When the family visited her residence, they discovered she had left with the child.”
“According to the family, while Samuel was alive, he allegedly expressed doubts about the paternity of the child, claiming the boy resembled a child of a certain politician, who is a Member of Parliament in the Ashanti Region,” Chuku noted.
The Angel FM reporter added, “The chief mentioned the politician’s name, but since there is no concrete evidence so for now, we cannot disclose it publicly”.
“It appears that she was allegedly dating the said politician before marrying Samuel, and the family claims the child resembles the politician. Because of these suspicions, the family wants a DNA test conducted by MediLab in Kumasi. But Abigail refused, left for the United States, and the family has now brought the issue before the Obuasi District Court,” Chuku explained.
