On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) took legal action against controversial social media personality Afia Schwarzenegger.
In a suit filed at the High Court in Accra, Sammy Gyamfi stated that Afia Schwarzenegger had made defamatory statements against him in a viral video.
According to him, the former UTV presenter had accused him of having extramarital affairs with multiple female students at the University of Ghana and rewarding them with expensive luxurious vehicles.
Sefa Kayi blasts Sammy Gyamfi in video
Following his GH₵10 million lawsuit against Afia Schwarzengger, an old video of Kwame Sefa Kayi blasting Sammy Gyamfi on the ‘Kokrokoo’ programme in the studios of Accra-based radio station Peace FM, has resurfaced on social media.
During the infamous 2019 incident, the veteran broadcaster confronted the NDC executive for insulting him on another radio station.

The acting GoldBod CEO had accused the renowned journalist of being a ‘hypocrite’ for playing an alleged leaked tape of the former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo.
He also refused to apologise to the ace broadcaster for his controversial remarks and stated that the issue was in the past.
Kwame Sefa Kayi, who was angered by Sammy Gyamfi's insults, warned him about the dangers of making defamatory statements to ruin the reputations of people.
"No one has defamed you before, right? Nobody has lied about you before, right? You are growing in politics and public life. One day, you will understand when somebody does the same to you, especially when all you really have is your name, your reputation.
"Today, it may seem very trivial to you. You will think what I am doing is something trivial, but one fine day, you will understand, especially when your children are growing up. When you are married and excelling as a lawyer and politician, and something defames you.
"I know you are a smart guy. When someone tells lies about your name, you will understand what I am doing today. This is not an old issue. You know this saying that social media doesn't forget. One day, somebody will Google my name, and that story will appear. So, it is not trivial. It is not an old matter I am prolonging. I am pained by what you did."
Kwame Sefa Kayi's interaction with Sammy Gyamfi culminated in the journalist kicking the popular politician out of the studios.
The incident resulted in the NDC boycotting Peace FM until they returned to power after the 2024 general elections and settled their dispute with Despite Media.
