Sammy Gyamfi (L) is demanding four reliefs from Afia Schwarzenegger (R) in his lawsuit
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD), Sammy Gyamfi, has filed a legal lawsuit against socialite Afia Schwarzenegger.
Sammy Gyamfi, through his lawyers, on July 23, 2025, filed a GH¢10 million defamation suit, citing that Schwarzenegger had accused him of infidelity, engaging in extra-marital affairs, and purchasing vehicles for female students at the University of Ghana.
In his lawsuit, Gyamfi outlined four key demands from Schwarzenegger.
Here is a breakdown of Sammy Gyamfi‘s four demands:
Restraining injunction on Schwarzenegger from making any further publication against him:
Gyamfi is praying for the court to place a perpetual injunction on Afia Schwarzenegger.
According to the politician, the court should restrain Schwarzenegger from making any publication and also using any defamatory words about him, either through social media or print.
“An order of this honourable court in the nature of a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant herein from making any further publication and/or causing to be printed, published, distributed, and/or otherwise circulated same and/or other similar defamatory words touching and/or otherwise concerning the plaintiff herein,” the document states.
Exemplary damages of GH¢10 million against Schwarzenegger:
Gyamfi is also praying the court for a sum of GH¢10 million from Schwarzenegger as compensation for the alleged damages that her publications have had on his reputation.
According to him, he has received numerous calls from people in high-ranking positions, questioning him about the accusations.
“Exemplary damages of ten million Ghana cedis (GH¢10,000,000.00) against the defendant.”
Retraction and public apology:
In his lawsuit, the politician is also demanding an unqualified apology from the socialite.
According to Gyamfi, Afia Schwarzenegger should retract her initial statements and also apologise through the front and back pages of The Daily Graphic Newspaper.
He is also asking the defendant to similarly apologise on TikTok and other media platforms that published her allegations.
“A retraction and an unqualified apology by the defendants to be published on the front and back pages of The Daily Graphic Newspaper on three consecutive occasions, and the same to be published on TikTok,” he said.
Legal counsel fee:
In his defamation suit, Gyamfi is demanding that the socialite pay fees charged by his legal team.
