He said, “I wish to state emphatically that, I have only one bodyguard, assigned to me by the Republic. My bodyguard, an officer of Ghana Police Service, is alive. I do not have any other bodyguard anywhere, nor have I ever had a bodyguard with such name in the said publication. The publication going round is not only misleading and fake but defamatory, as my detractors will not stop at anything just to tarnish my hard-won image.”

“In their scheme to cause massive damage to me, they have linked a person whom I have no connections with whatsoever with intent to subject me to public ridicule and hatred, reduce my estimation in the eyes of right-thinking members of the public, scandalize and embarrass me beyond measure.”
