Speaking on his show, Afrifa claimed that his ex-girlfriend was responsible for his legal troubles. He alleged that Daly accused him of sexual extortion and manipulated their previous conversations to support her claims.

According to him, the lady reported him, claiming he possessed and was blackmailing her with raw photographs. He challenged the accusation, demanding evidence and maintaining his innocence.

“I was told that Anne Daly reported me and said I have her {private pictures} and I am blackmailing her with them."

"I told them to bring evidence, and so they took me home, took what they wanted, and said they were going to investigate me. I dated this lady six years ago, so I won’t talk about how toxic she is," he said.

He claimed that the security operatives took him home for a search and seized his phone. For him, it was for the purpose of going through his phone that the case was made against him.
