The apology follows a defamation suit filed by the minister against Gyewu-Appiah and Media General Ghana Limited, which owns Onua FM and Onua TV.
The writ was issued at the High Court in Accra on Friday, October 30, 2026. It relates to a discussion on Onua FM on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, during which Gyewu-Appiah, popularly known as Benghazi, made allegations involving the minister and musician Fantana.
His claims also touched on funds for the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa. Fantana had earlier threatened to take legal action against the NPP communicator over the comments.
