Mubarick Masawudu, the Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Maritime Authority, has issued a legal threat to three media houses. He is demanding they retract a recent publication.
The story allegedly connected Masawudu to the use of land guards. This was in relation to a land dispute occurring at Spintex.
Masawudu's lawyers sent a formal letter to the media outlets. The letter was dated September 15, 2026.
The letter gives the media houses a seven-day ultimatum. They must retract the publication within this period.
Failure to retract the story will result in legal action. Masawudu intends to sue if the demand is not met.
The specific details of the land dispute and the alleged involvement of land guards are part of the publication.
The Ghana Maritime Authority is a government agency responsible for maritime safety and security.
