President John Evans Atta Mills has recalled with immediate effect, Ghana’s Ambassador to Brazil, Samuel Kofi Dadey. Government sources also tell Myjoyonline.com the President has retired him with immediate effect.
President Mills’ decision follows allegations of sexual harassment made against him by an employee of the embassy.
The victim of the alleged sexual harassment, 40-year-old Helen Adewonuola was the private secretary of Ambassador Dadey. She told Adakabre Frempong-Manso, host of Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem programme that the Ambassador forced her to have sex four times with him to protect her job.
Mr. Dadey denied the woman’s claims, saying he “never had sex with the former employee or have any form of relationship that was not strictly related to work”.
According to Mr. Dadey, the complaints of harassment are a reaction to the fact that Helen’s functions were changed after some wrong attitude on her part.
Joy News also learnt that the matter came to the attention of the Government after Helen Adewonuola filed a lawsuit.
The matter was however settled out of court, with Helen, a married woman, receiving US$20,000 subsequently. However, she alleges that Ambassador Dadey fired her when she reported the matter to the police.
