Veteran journalist Malik Kweku Baako has reined in New Patriotic Party sympathizer, Fadi Dabboussi for his offensive comments which earned him a BNI detention.
On several occasions, Fadi used his writings in the media to make what many considered disparaging comments against the person of Ghana’s president John Mahama.
For instance, he alleged that President Mahama impregnated the daughter of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and also went further to question the president’s HIV status.
Government said he was arrested and detained by the BNI for questioning the capacity and morality of President Mahama to lead Ghana. Commenting on the issue Saturday, Kweku Baako condemned Fadi’s writings on Mahama which he described as false.
They are “serious and hugely offensive”, the ace journalist said on Joy FM’s Newsfile. Claims about Otumfuo’s daughter were “completely useless”, he commented.
According to him, Fadi had relied on stories already publicized by “none existing and fake” media organizations which he noted were disaster and cautioned people to be very careful what they read and accept as truth.
Mr. Baako however found the use of state institutions to haunt people that do not end in prosecution unnecessary. “Some of these things, as much as the stories are bad, and I will sit here and say false, I think sometimes official rebuttals, effective official rebuttals can cure the mischief and then we can move on so that it doesn’t attract undue attention for institutions of state,” he advised.
Remorseful Fadi Fadi Dabboussi recounted how he was treated nicely by the BNI while in their custody. He said he was never beaten or subjected to any inhumane treatment as he recalled that “they (BNI) were extremely concerned when I went on hunger strike”. He told Newsfile host Samson Lardi Anyenini that though he “didn’t mean evil” when he wrote those articles, he regrets the inference readers made out of his writings.
He therefore promised that he would in future be careful not to rely on false information to put same out. He therefore apologized for the stories and said he was “sorry”.

this is why i love Mr baako. in as much he sympathizes with the npp, he wont say everything they do is wrong. he doesn't agree with how the guy was detained but also doesn't alike what he writes about mahama. thats objectivity
We all know ohemaa (otumfuo daughter) is carrying Ibrahim Mahama's child and this is after she married her bf in June...the marriage has been dissolved
Baako and Mahama are both (useeleesss) children of Nkrumah's one time ministers. THey had silver spoons in their mouth when most of us had to chew stones and gnaw grass. Mottther forrrrkers.

The Otumfou's daughter is romantically involved with Ibrahim Mahama and she is proud that the world knows it. Longtime boyfriend and husband of a few months found out the truth of the relationship and quickly ended his marriage to her. That is a FACT!
I CAN SEE EITHER SOMETHING IS PUSHING BAAKO OUT OF THE SHELL OR SOMETHING IS DRAGGING HIM OUT OF IT. BECAUSE ANYTIME THIS MAN JUMPS TO THE DEFENSE OF NDC, THEN IT MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING GOING FOR HIM. OR SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING ACCORDING TO PLAN. THIS DABBOUSSI PIG IS A HIRELING OF THE NPP, RECRUITED TO WRITE THRASH JUST TO DISCREDIT THE GOVERNMENT. EVEN IN THE EVENT OF ARREST HE WAS ASKED NOT TO CAPITULATE. AND STAND BY WHAT HE SAID. BUT GUESS WHAT..... DURING THE INTERROGATION HE CAPITULATED. BECAUSE ALL HE SAID ABOUT GHANA AND THE PRESIDENT HAS NO BASIS. AND SISTER AKUMEA AND HIS PAY MASTERS WERE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE DABOUSSI WAS NOT HELD BEYOND THE STIPULATED 24HRS. AFTER WHICH THEY INTEND TO ORGANIZE THUGS TO INVADE THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE. AND KWEKU BAAKO WENT TO NIMA FLAGSTAFF HOUSE TO CHALLENGE DABOUSSI`S HANDLER. WHO CLAIMED TO BE A FORMER HEZBOLLAH FIGHTER WHO HAS MOVED CAMP TO SERBIA AND ALLIED WITH MUJAHEDEEN TO TRAIN JANJAWEED REBELS IN NORTHERN SUDAN. WHO HAVE LINKS WITH AL SHABAB AND BOKO HARAM. INTEL HAS IT THAT DABOUSSI WAS IN KENYAN CELLS WHEN PROFESSOR KOFI AWUNOR WAS MURDERED COLD BLOODED. AFTER HIS RELEASE HE WENT BACK TO BEIRUT, UHURU KENYATA WAS NOT HERE JUST TO CELEBRATE 6TH MARCH. FADI DABOUSSI IS NOT JUST HERE TO PLANT A NEWS STORY. KWEKU BAAKO IS NOT JUST UNHAPPY,. AS FOR US,,,, WE ARE UP IN ARMS ALREADY. THOSE RI.F.F RA.F.FS IN THE NPP WHO WILL ALLOW THEIR CONSCIENCE TO BE BOUGHT BY OLD MEN, LOOK.... KWEKU BAAKO IS OVER 60 YRS, NANA ADDO 73, CK TEDEM 90 CAPT. CODDA 70 KWESI NDUOM 80. THEY ARE NOT SEEKING THE INTEREST OF GHANAIANS BUT THEMSELVES. MORE LATER.......
