Actress Fella Makafui has filed a petition accusing rapper Medikal of publishing false news that has endangered her life.

 In her petition, Makafui asserts that Medikal's actions violate Section 208 of the Criminal Code of 1960, Act 29, which addresses the publication of false news.

The actress’ petition also cites the Electronic Communications Act 2008 (Act 775), specifically Sections 76 (1) and 76 (2), which prohibit the transmission of false or misleading information likely to endanger the safety of any person.

The controversy stems from Medikal's recent social media posts, where he claimed to have suffered physical and verbal abuse at the hands of actress. 

These posts, according the actress, have incited threats against her and caused significant distress. “His actions have put my life at risk,” she emphasied in her petition.

The couple, who decided to divorce in January 2024, had agreed to co-parent their daughter. Despite this agreement, the actress claims that Medikal has continued to make baseless accusations on social media. 

She stressed that they have not communicated since their decision to divorce, underscoring the severity of the false claims.

The actress’ petition includes exhibits of the alleged false news publications and urges the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to take immediate action. She requests the police to intervene and invite Medikal to assist in the investigation of these false publications.

The Ghana Police Service has yet to respond to Makafui’s petition.
