George Essandoh, whose address is listed as Room YH03, Cargo Dor at the Accra International Airport, filed suit against a blogger operating under the name "Wicked Blogger Ghana" at the Adentan Circuit Court.
The case, assigned Suit No. GR/AD/CC/C5/0007/2026, centres on allegations that the blogger repeatedly made false, misleading, and unauthorised publications about Essandoh that caused significant harm to both his personal reputation and business interests.
Prominent Ghanaian blogger and freelance journalist Ameyaw Debrah shared the details of the court order on Facebook on Tuesday, 11th August 2026, bringing the case to public attention.
Court issues injunction against Wicked Blogger Gh
Circuit Court Judge H/H Angela Attachie issued the order of interim injunction on August 3, 2026, following an affidavit deposed by Charles Kwesi Oppong of Obeng-Sakyi & Company, filed on 28th July 2026. Essandoh was represented by attorney Maxwell Delali Amuzu, Esq.
The injunction prohibits the defendant from making any further publications about Essandoh or his business, whether in writing, online, or through any other medium.
This includes posts that repeat, expand upon, or restate the allegedly false claims.
The order was signed by Registrar Aggie-Aimee Neequaye and is valid for 10 days, within which the blogger must enter an appearance or face the full rigours of the law.
This is not the first time the businessman has taken action against the blogger.
Essandoh previously petitioned the Cyber Security Authority over alleged harassment linked to the same publications.
Businessman George Essandoh's allegations against Wicked Blogger
According to the petition, George Essandoh alleged that Wicked Blogger and some individuals allegedly influenced by the false publications have been harassing him.
The Ghanaian businessman believed the harassment was 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 also reported the matter to the National Security apparatus and the Cyber Crime Unit for further investigations.
