Investigative journalist and writer, Manasseh Azure has reacted to calls on him to retract and apologize for some pages in his book about businessman Ibrahim Mahama.
Ibrahim Mahama, through his lawyers, have written to Manasseh Azure to retract and apologise for some pages in his latest book.
The letter to him gives him seven days to do so or risk being sued for publishing a factually inaccurate claim in his book.
But Manasseh Azure in a post shared via social media indicated that he has left the issue with his lawyers who are looking at the matter and will address the issue as soon as possible.
In a post shared via social media he said “I have received calls about the news that Ibrahim Mahama has given me seven days to delete pages 89 and 90 of my book because the information is inaccurate. That is not accurate. Mr. Ibrahim Mahama’s lawyers have written to me concerning a paragraph of the book in the chapter on the economy.
That paragraph says Ibrahim Mahama was indebted to Merchant Bank when it was sold in 2013. His lawyers say it was a company owned by Ibrahim Mahama, Engineers and Planners, which owed the bank, not Ibrahim Mahama. I have forwarded their demands to my lawyers and the matter will be addressed soon,” he said.
