Hubtel Limited is demanding a retraction and apology from Media General and Captain Smart for alleging that $25 million was transferred from ECG Ghana's account to Hubtel's account for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's campaign. Hubtel's lawyers, Beyuo and Co, claim these statements are false, malicious, and damaging to Hubtel's reputation .

Captain Smart made these allegations on the Onua Maakye show on November 21, 2024, without providing evidence. Hubtel denies the allegations, stating that Dr. Bawumia has no legal or beneficial interest in the company. They're demanding a public retraction and apology within seven days and a written apology within three days, or they'll take legal action.
