I have not invited Owusu Bempah to my house – Ibrahim Mahama

Contrary to the media reports that the Chief Executive officer (CEO) of Engineers & Planners Company Limited, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, has invited the Director of Communications at the Ghana Gas Company Limited, Ernest Owusu Bempah, to his house for ‘brotherly talks’, it has emerged that no such communication has happened between the two. The businessman had secured a court order to empty Ernest Owusu Bempah’s account of GH¢310,000 but only GH¢107,000 was found in his account at National Investment Bank (NIB). “Mr. Mahama who described Ernest Owusu Bempah as his ‘younger brother’ invited him to come home, indicating a sealing of peace and forgiveness from the businessman,” MyNewsGHcom reported. However, Rafik Mahama, Aide to Ibrahim Mahama, is a statement refuted the report saying his boss has not extended any such invitation to Mr. Owusu Bempah. “Kindly disregard the story that went viral today with the headline: “Ibrahim Mahama invites ‘brother’ Owusu Bempah home for tea, pardons payment of GH¢203,000”. There’s no such invitation extended to Owusu Bempah after the apology was issued. An amount of GHC 107,000 has been paid so far with GHC203,000 outstanding. “Mr. Ibrahim Mahama received an official apology from Owusu Bempah and apart from that, no further decision has been taken with regards to the apology from Owusu Bempah and the outstanding amount of GHC 203,000.” The statement copied to Ghanaguardian.com read. Background On March 3, 2018, Ernest Owusu Bempah during a discussion on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsoroma’ morning show, subjected Mr. Ibrahim Mahama to name callings. The Ghana Gas Communication chief angrily blasted Ibrahim Mahama who is direct brother to former President Mahama labeling him as a thief. Following his unsubstantiated allegations, he was subsequently dragged to an Accra High Court by Mr. Mahama for the derogatory and defamatory remarks made against him.

Ibrahim Mahama invites ‘brother’ Owusu Bempah home for tea, pardons payment of GH¢203,000

The Director of communications at Ghana Gas Company Limited Ernest Owusu Bempah has reportedly received and accepted an invitation “to come home for tea” from the CEO of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama, MyNewsGh.com reports. Mr. Mahama who described Ernest Owusu Bempah as his “younger brother” invited him to come home, indicating a sealing of peace and forgiveness from the businessman. The businessman had secured a court order to empty Ernest Owusu Bempah’s account of GH¢310,000 but only GH¢107,000 was found in his account at NIB. Sources hinted MyNewsGh.com that the generous Ibrahim Mahama who “didn’t actually need the GH¢310,000 for anything” pardoned Ernest Owusu Bempah from paying the balance. This is yet to be confirmed though. All this comes after Owusu Bempah placed a call to apologise to the businessman after issuing out an official apology as well to the magnanimous businessman who in 2018, the business mogul sued along with the Despite Group of Companies, operators of UTV for defaming him. On March 3, 2018, the Ghana Gas Communication boss made a statement on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsoroma’ show that former President Mahama’s brother, Ibrahim is a thief. However, in his apology letter, Mr. Owusu Bempah said, “The statement which I made then was made without any basis and was made without due regard to the hard-earned reputation of Mr. Ibrahim Mahama and I ought not to have made same. That statement I made about Mr. Ibrahim Mahama was not true then and is not true now and can never be true and that I have no reason to make the statement.” Mr. Owusu Bempah further said, “Irrespective of how it happened, the facts remain that I should never have made such a statement of Mr Ibrahim Mahama. The statement was clearly derogatory and defamatory of the person and the enviable achievements of Mr. Ibrahim Mahama. I sincerely regret making that statement about him.” MynewsGh Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications. Contact: 0555568093

BREAKING News: Owusu Bempah apologies to Ibrahim Mahama, begs for forgiveness and MORE

The Communications Director of Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah has written an official apology to businessman Ibrahim Mahama over comments he passed against him which a court ruled as defamatory and fined him as a result. In a two-page apology letter intercepted by MyNewsGh.com, Owusu Bempah begged Ibrahim Mahama to forgive him as “I had no reason to make the allegations which I ought not to have made”. Mr. Owusu Bempah added that the statement he made against the award-winning CEO of Engineers & Planner “were untrue then, are untrue now and will never be true” for which he apologizes. Consequently, Mr. Owusu Bempah placed a call to Ibrahim Mahama to apologize to the businessman and was received well. Mr. Ibrahim Mahama has since invited him to come home and called him “my brother”. MyNewsGh.com has attached the full apology for our readers. This apology will come as a surprise to the public since Mr. Owusu Bempah had earlier claimed his lawyers were headed to the Supreme Court to challenge the judgement given against him in a defamation case against the business mogul. The super-rich CEO of Engineers and Planners who is also brother of former President of Ghana John Dramani Mahama, Ibrahim Mahama sued Ernest Owusu Bempah, Communications Director of Ghana Gas Company Limited and Despite Group of Companies GH¢2 million each for defamatory comments but the judge awarded GH¢300,000 instead against Owusu Bempah. An Accra High court ordered the bankers of Owusu Bempah to pay the amount to Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, which effectively emptied his bank account. A process was initiated to sell his house in Tema to defray some of the debt. With Ibrahim Mahama accepting his apology and inviting him, the matter is now likely to rest.
