The Attorney General and Minister for Justice has issued a fiery response to Gomoa Central MP, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, challenging him to publicly address his alleged involvement in the National Service Scheme (NSS) ghost names scandal.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, April 30, Dr. Dominic Ayine dismissed recent social media claims by A Plus, branding him as “corrupt” and “a thief," calling the accusations false and baseless.

According to the AG, A Plus must be questioned on what prompted his online attacks and should be held accountable for his knowledge about alleged NSS malpractices.

“The media should ask him about the silly thing that I was about to do which frightened him so much into making that silly post about me,” the Attorney General said.

“He should be asked what he knows about the National Service ghost names scandal and related matters.”

Dr. Ayine further warned A Plus to stop hiding behind social media and answer real questions.

“If he can give truthful answers, then Ghanaians would know why he took to social media to do what he did. But let him be warned that in my hometown, we do not fear mud thrown at us.

"On the contrary, we walk into the mud to deal with the person doing the mud-slinging and I am prepared to walk into the mud with A Plus,” he stressed.

Dr. Ayine further challenged A Plus to appear before the media and publicly respond to the claims surrounding his alleged role in the NSS ghost names saga.

“What I have about him and the National Service scandal—he should come and say. I’m challenging him to come and tell the media and stop hiding behind social media to make baseless allegations against people who have worked hard to earn a reputation,” he added.
