Torgbui Akamu V Denies Fraud Allegations, Calls Claims a Political Attack
Ho, Volta Region – February 1, 2025 – Torgbui Akamu V, an aspirant for the Volta Region’s Council of State slot, has dismissed allegations linking him to fraudulent activities, describing them as a politically motivated smear campaign.
In a press release issued by his communication unit, the chief clarified that his involvement in the disputed matter was strictly to mediate between the two conflicting parties.
Clarification on Mediation Role
The statement emphasized that Torgbui Akamu V stepped in to resolve a misunderstanding, but when one party refused to cooperate, he withdrew from the matter entirely.
“As the mediation process developed, the parties involved deviated from their original positions, making it increasingly difficult for Torgbui Akamu V to continue facilitating a resolution. He was left with no choice but to withdraw from the process.”
Political Undercurrents Behind Allegations
According to his communication unit, the allegations are an attempt to damage his reputation ahead of the Council of State elections.
“It’s unfortunate that these individuals have resorted to using the courts to tarnish Torgbui Akamu V’s name, clearly motivated by his bid for the Council of State,” the statement read.
The chief’s team urged the public to disregard what they described as a ‘diabolical publication’ aimed at discrediting his leadership.
