A video has surfaced of the Asafo Companies One and Two from Efutu joining Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin in chanting “Sammy atɔn gold, abɔ ka” during a show of solidarity at his Accra residence, amid his ongoing dispute with GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi.
In the viral video, the Asafo Companies One and Two show solidarity with the Minority leader amid his dispute with the GoldBod CEO.
Also, Afenyo-Markin, speaking to TV3, has disclosed that he has never, on any occasion, mentioned anyone’s name concerning the GoldBod and the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme loss.
According to Afenyo-Markin, he has always been talking about the GoldBod institution.
He stated, “I have never, on any occasion, mentioned anyone’s name. I have always been talking about the GoldBod institution. The contention of the Minority is that its implementation has not been good.”
Meanwhile, Lawyers for Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the plaintiff in a defamation suit against Ghana Gold Board Chief Executive Officer Sammy Gyamfi, have denied claims that he is avoiding service of the writ filed against the accused.
On August 29, 2026, in a statement issued, Afenyo-Markin said assertions suggesting that he had failed to serve Gyamfi were false.
They disclosed that the writ was filed on August 24, 2026, and two days later, lawyers for Gyamfi, Ayine & Partners, formally informed the Registrar of the High Court that they had their client’s express instructions and authority to accept service on his behalf.
The statement added that the Bailiff subsequently served the writ on Gyamfi’s lawyers based on the written undertaking.
The statement further alleged that the lawyers returned the writ on August 27, claiming that their client had changed his mind about authorising them to accept service.
They further argued that in any event, under Order 7, rule 12(2) of the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, a writ is duly served once it is delivered to a lawyer who has undertaken in writing to accept service on behalf of a client, adding that Sammy Gyamfi has been validly served.

“PRESS STATEMENT
FALSE CLAIMS REGARDING SERVICE OF WRIT ON SAMMY GYAMFI
Accra — Our attention has been drawn to false claims that the Plaintiff in the defamation suit against Samuel Adu Gyamfi is avoiding service of the Writ.
The writ was filed on 24 August 2026. On 26 August 2026, Ayine & Partners formally informed the Registrar of the High Court that they had Mr Gyamfi’s “express instructions and authority” to accept service on his behalf. Relying on that written undertaking, the Bailiff duly served the Writ on his lawyers.
Subsequently, the lawyers on 27 August returned the Writ, claiming their client had changed his mind. When the Bailiff then attempted personal service at Mr Gyamfi’s office on that Thursday, his security personnel prevented him from doing so and directed him to Mr Gyamfi’s residence.
The position is straightforward: it is not and cannot be the Plaintiff who is avoiding service. It is the Defendant who first authorised his lawyers to accept service, withdrew that authority after service had been effected, and then obstructed an attempt at personal service.
In any event, under Order 7, rule 12(2) of the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, a writ is duly served once it is delivered to a lawyer who has undertaken in writing to accept service on behalf of a client. Accordingly, Mr Gyamfi has been validly served.
We urge those spreading the contrary narrative to desist. The relevant correspondence and the Bailiff’s official record speak for themselves. Mr Gyamfi will be required to answer the suit before the Court”.
