Ms Chantelle Kudjawu has denied
ever having an amorous relationship with National Security Minister-designate
Albert Kan-Dapaah.
In a defamation suit against Mrs
Gloria Arhin, the estranged wife of Mr Eugene Arhin, the Acting Communication
Director at the Presidency, Ms Kudjawu said a leaked video call involving her
and Mr Kan-Dapaah, who served in the same portfolio he is being considered for
during President Nana Akufo-Addo’s first term of office, has been misused by
Mrs Arhin to make a defamatory claim against her.
Mrs Arhin, in her divorce suit,
alleged that her husband has had and continues to have an affair with Ms
Kudjawu, which she (Kudjawu) took qualms with and for which demanded an apology
through her lawyers, Clinton Consultancy, who used that same opportunity to
warn Mrs Arhin of a possible defamation suit should she fail to eat back her
words.
In her defamation suit against Mrs Arhin, Ms Kudjawu
made reference to the leaked video call, which went viral on social media in
early January 2020, saying Mrs Arhin read wrong meanings into it by using same
as her basis for defaming her in her divorce suit.
Ms Kudjawu averred in her suit against Mrs Arhin that
“the public is not aware of the circumstances surrounding” the leaked video
call, adding that “the defendant has taken advantage of this misrepresentation
to damage” her “reputation publicly and globally”.
She further averred that she has also “never had an
amorous relationship with Mr Kan-Dapaah”, adding that she has “met Mr
Kan-Dapaah only once in her life, with all other interactions being held purely
on phone”.
