Sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah has disclosed an ongoing legal dispute with Ghanaian businessman and politician, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, over a GH¢120,000 debt.

On Okay FM, Kwaku Yeboah explained that the debt arose from services rendered by his printing firm for Dr. Nduom's Today newspaper.

Following the collapse of Nduom's GN Bank, the debt remained unpaid, causing financial strain for Yeboah with his suppliers.

Yeboah recounted that one creditor, represented by a law firm owned by Supreme Court Justice Emmanuel Yonny Kulendi, demanded GH¢35,000 for paper supplies used in the printing process.

According to him, Dr. Nduom had agreed to clear the debt but became unresponsive to his calls and text messages later.

Kwaku Yeboah affirmed his commitment to pursuing the case to its conclusion and ensure that Nduom settles the supposed debt.

"He (Nduom) owes me GH¢120,000, which is still outstanding. I managed the printing of the Today newspaper for him, but the payment is pending. At first, I communicated with his representatives, but as the delay persisted, I discussed the matter with him. He promised to settle the debt while in the US but later cited health issues as a reason for further delay.

"The legal proceedings were initiated because I had obtained the printing materials on credit, and one of my creditors pursued legal action through Justice Yoni Kulendi's law firm, resulting in a financial judgment against me. I had to pay GH¢35,000 just for the paper, excluding other costs. This case has been ongoing for over four years, and we are still actively pursuing it in court," Yeboah stated.
