On February 23, 2026, the two Ghanaian actors made their first appearance in court after the diminutive star sued his colleague.
A couple of videos that went viral saw the duo with some industry players, including Sumsum Ahuofe, at the Adum High Court in Kumasi as the legal proceedings unfolded.
According to reports, the suit stemmed from alleged derogatory remarks made by Oboy Siki during an interview on Ghpage, where he questioned his colleagues' role in football management as well as his bedroom life, alleging that Yaw Dabo was battling infertility and could not give birth.
The entertainer found the statement defamatory and decided to take his colleague to court, demanding GH¢1 million in damages.
Yaw Dabo on lawsuit against Oboy Siki
Speaking in an interview at the court premises following court proceedings, Yaw Dabo detailed why he had chosen a legal battle over an amicable settlement, stating that he dragged his colleague to court as a deterrent to him and others in the future.
He claimed that Oboy Siki is fond of reportedly making defamatory comments against other public figures, for which he believed there was no evidence, and expressed hope that the lawsuit would serve as a warning to him.
Yaw Dabo further claimed his colleague entertainer had rendered an apology to him, but that was not enough to validate him, and so to protect his reputation, heading to court was the best option.
He added that some dignitaries have reached out demanding that they settle the case out of court, but he needed to speak with his lawyer before he made his final decision.
