Essandoh submitted the petition, citing concerns that a social media user operating under the names "wickedblogger", "wickedbloggergh", and "wickedblogger backup" has been allegedly using digital platforms to deliberately damage his name and disrupt his company, SSL Refinery.
He alleged that the posts included claims of fraud, manipulated statements taken out of context, threats, and abusive content circulated across social media platforms.
He called on the authorities to identify and sanction the individuals he holds responsible.
Businessman George Essandoh's allegations against Wicked Blogger
According to the petition, George Essandoh further alleged the individual behind the accounts and some individuals allegedly influenced by the false publications have been harassing him.
The Ghanaian businessman believes the harassment is coordinated and intentional rather than isolated incidents.
He argued that the publication being circulated online was designed to paint him in a negative light and affected his reputation, business operations, customer confidence, and relationships with partners.
The businessman expressed frustration at the pace at which harmful content can spread digitally, stressing that unchecked online behaviour carries real consequences for individuals and businesses alike.
He urged the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) to treat the matter with urgency and use its mandate to intervene.
Beyond the CSA petition, the businessman has also reported the matter to the National Security apparatus and the Cyber Crime Unit for further investigations.
