Member of Parliament for Bimbilla, Dominic Nitiwul
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bimbilla, Dominic Nitiwul, has given one of his constituents, Umar Hawa, a 7-day ultimatum to retract and apologize for some alleged defamatory comments she made against him or confront him in court.
This follows a newspaper post a few days ago alleging that NaBCo beneficiaries in the Bimbilla constituency were being forced to contribute money to support the defense minister’s re-election bid.
The publication, entitled: ‘Corruption in NaBCo in the Bimbilla District’ under the surveillance and on behalf of the Minister of Defense and MP, alleged that beneficiaries were being forced to pay ¢ 100 GH to show their appreciation to the New Patriotic Party (NPP ) to allow the MP to run his campaign.
The MP has denied the accusations.
His attorney, Sulley Sambien, said he has received instructions from the minister to sue if he does not apologize to his client.
He told Nasara Abdul Rahman of Class News that: “NaBCo employees in Bimbilla, the ladies decided that they were going to support Nitiwul in his campaign by donating some GH ¢ 100 money from October to November.
“This was done on Dominic’s blind side.
“He didn’t even know it and apparently it leaked.
“They have a WhatsApp platform. I was told that someone took screenshots and sent them to this lady and then she went on social media to say that Nitiwul had planned the money withdrawals from those women to support her campaign.
“Meanwhile, the guy didn’t know anything about it. So Nitiwul is very, very angry, I must say, ”added the lawyer.
“He asked me to write to him and ask him to retract and apologize and then we moved on.”
Nitiwul’s attorney added that if the lady did not apologize and did not retract the statement, her client would sue her.
“I have your firm instruction to sue her,” he said.
