The Executive President of the Duamenefa Foundation and CEO of Fafaa Fm, Mr. Emmanuel Ketaman Evortepe has issued a warning against what he describes as false accusations directed at the foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM, instead of constructive criticisms cautioning that continued misrepresentation could attract legal action.
He made the statement during the Duamenefa Social Intervention Programme aired on Fafaa 100.3 FM. According to him, both the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM have observed a growing trend of individuals using various social media platforms to criticise and insult the institutions, often based on inaccurate or misleading information.
Mr. Evortepe emphasised that while the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM respect freedom of expression, such freedom must be exercised responsibly and within the bounds of the law. He stated that deliberate attempts to tarnish the image of the foundation and the radio station through false accusations and insults would no longer be overlooked.
He explained that the Duamenefa Foundation remains committed to its core mission of community development and social empowerment, while Fafaa 100.3 FM continues to serve as a credible platform for information, education, and public engagement. According to him, unfounded attacks undermine the positive impact both institutions have worked hard to build over the years.
The Executive President urged the public to verify information before sharing it on social media and encouraged those with genuine concerns to use appropriate and lawful channels for redress. He reiterated that failure to heed this warning would leave the foundation and the radio station with no option but to seek legal redress to protect their integrity and reputation.
Mr. Evortepe further noted that management of both the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM has taken notice of the increasing misuse of social media as a tool for spreading misinformation, stressing that such behaviour poses a serious threat to responsible public discourse and institutional credibility.
He reaffirmed the readiness of the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM to protect their reputations through lawful means, adding that the warning serves as a final appeal for restraint. He called on the public to support ethical communication and contribute positively to discussions that promote unity and development rather than hostility and false narratives.
Notably, Mr. Evortepe observed that those engaging in the alleged acts of insult and false criticism are predominantly young people. He cautioned the youth not to allow themselves to be influenced or incited by older individuals into actions that could lead to serious legal consequences. He added that whether such conduct is self-initiated or externally influenced, it must stop, warning that continued misconduct could place those involved in legal trouble, as the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa 100.3 FM operate strictly within the framework of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
The warning was issued by Mr. Ketaman Emmanuel Evortepe, Executive President of the Duamenefa Foundation and Chief Executive Officer of Fafaa 100.3 FM.
