Court bars TikToker and influencer from linking Dokua to nude video saga

The Accra High Court has granted an application by former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah-Adjei, to restrain two individuals – brand influencer Tina Mensah and CEO of S.O Herbal Centre, Sophia Ocansey from making any public statements or associating her name with an ongoing defamation case involving the alleged circulation of nude videos.

The High Court’s injunction, issued on Thursday April 10, 2025, bars both Mensah and Ocansey from commenting further on Asiamah-Adjei or linking her name to the ongoing saga, pending the final determination of the defamation suits.

The court’s decision follows a defamation suit filed by Asiamah-Adjei against Ocansey over what she describes as “false and malicious” remarks made against her on TikTok and other social media platforms. The former minister is demanding GH¢5 million in damages for what she calls a coordinated smear campaign intended to tarnish her image.

According to court documents, Ocansey – who doubles as the chief executive of S.O Herbal Centre – allegedly made repeated defamatory statements targeting Asiamah-Adjei, gaining widespread attention across social media. Asiamah-Adjei contends these statements were part of a deliberate attempt to damage her reputation.

In a separate but related case, Asiamah-Adjei has accused German-based Ghanaian brand influencer Tina Mensah of blackmail and character assassination after being named in a defamation suit filed by Mensah at the same court.

Mensah is seeking GH¢20 million in aggravated and general damages over the alleged unauthorised recording and distribution of a nude video she claims was captured during a private visit to the home of one Abigail Kwarteng in Kumasi on 18 February 2025.

In her writ, Mensah alleges that Kwarteng—whom she describes as a foster daughter to Asiamah-Adjei—secretly filmed her exiting a bathroom unclothed and sent the footage to the former minister. The video later appeared on TikTok and Facebook, causing what Mensah describes as irreparable harm to her personal and professional life, including the collapse of her relationship and the loss of several brand endorsements.

Asiamah-Adjei, however, has flatly denied any involvement in the video’s circulation and maintains she has never received official service of the suit.

“I have not received any official service of the suit,” Asiamah-Adjei said. “But I’ve seen the writ being widely circulated on social media. I have therefore instructed my lawyers to file an appearance, and a full defence will follow in the coming days.”

She challenged Mensah to provide evidence in court to support her claims, describing the allegations as “unfounded and defamatory” and an orchestrated attempt to undermine her reputation.

“The timing and nature of these accusations point to a calculated move to damage my credibility,” she stated.

Mensah, in her claim, said the video was recorded during a heated exchange with Kwarteng, who accused her of visa fraud. The influencer says she rushed out of the bathroom in shock, only to be recorded in her vulnerable state. She later received the video from an anonymous source and claims Kwarteng admitted to filming it and sending it to Asiamah-Adjei.

She is demanding an unqualified apology from both defendants and a declaration from the court that the publication of the video was defamatory and a deliberate attempt to destroy her career.
