Private legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has categorically denied allegations suggesting he is the financial sponsor behind the entity known as "Ghana Jollof." This denial follows public claims made by media personality Blakk Rasta, who alleged that Ampaw was providing the resources for the individual or group currently sought by the police for various counts of public insults. The legal practitioner’s response aims to quell growing speculation regarding his involvement with personalities currently under the radar of law enforcement.
During an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, Ampaw expressed his disappointment over the claims, describing them as "unfortunate" and lacking any factual basis. The allegations suggested that "Ghana Jollof" had been operating under the patronage of Ampaw, allowing the entity to engage in provocative and potentially defamatory speech. Ampaw, who is a well-known figure in Ghanaian legal and media circles, emphasized that such associations would be entirely contrary to his professional ethics and his public standing.
The "Ghana Jollof" entity has reportedly drawn the attention of the Ghana Police Service following numerous complaints regarding public insults and the dissemination of derogatory content. By forcefully refuting Blakk Rasta’s claims, Ampaw is attempting to distance himself from any criminal or civil liability that might arise from the ongoing police investigation. The development underscores the increasing scrutiny on the financial backing of controversial social media personas as authorities continue their efforts to identify and apprehend those responsible for the reported offenses.
