Likewise, Ms. Passah has equally served another writ of summons on Mr. Eugene Kenny Ntreh, Editor of the Weekly Fylla newspaper and CE MENZE MEDIA, the Publishers of Fylla complaining against its n of its publication of the pageant, which the paper described as a “Miss African Beauty Pageant is a rip off, contestants cry foul.” In her statement of claim against Graphic personnel and company, Ms. Passah, who works under her business name of XYZ Agency, said that in the Graphic Showbiz of June 13,2007, edition of the paper, "falsely and maliciously wrote and printed and published and caused to be written, printed and published on the front page and continued on the 3rd page of and concerning the Plaintiff words which are offensive, defamatory and libelous" that the pageant organised by the Plaintiff was a "Miss FAKE' Pageant. Beauties expose XYZ deal, among others. Likewise in the Fylla writ, Plaintiff averred that the publication by Fylla that this pageant was a rip off that defendants in their publication, sought to portray the plaintiff as a person without honesty, principles, integrity and is fraudulent minded, who fails to honour her part of an agreement and cheats persons that she works with and that she is an impecunious person who cannot afford to pay what is due the contestants in the pageant she organised. That the publication tried to portray her as having perpetrated fraud on the contestants of the pageant and that she is a heartless, inconsiderate person who treats contestants of pageant inhumanely. So in both writs, Ms Passah is claiming damages for libel, a perpetual injunction to restrain the defendants and each of themselves or by their agents or servants or otherwise whosoever from publication of the said words or any of them or similar words or any words to the like effect. Both suits, dated 21st June, 2007, gives the defendants eight days after service to cause an appearance to be entered and that in default, judgement may be given in their absence without further notice.
