Ridge Hospital nurse Rejoice Tsotsoo Bortei sued the controversial activist for GH¢7 million over assault and defamation at the Accra High Court on August 20, 2025.
The court case stemmed from an incident at the hospital on Sunday, August 17, when Ralph stormed the hospital and blasted numerous nurses over alleged negligence.
He complained that after seeking medical assistance for a seriously injured individual at the emergency ward, nurses were slow to help and told him he was being disruptive by demanding assistance.
Below is an Instagram video of Ralph St Williams' angry tirade at Ridge Hospital.

Ralph recounted an incident where a female nurse physically assaulted him, and he did not retaliate.
