He was served by a bailiff on Friday, February 3, 2023 on the premises of Metro Television after appearing on their morning show, Good Morning Ghana.
In the video, the legislator who was seen standing by his vehicle in the company of the bailiff, later entered the car in an attempt to drive off.
However, the bailiff dropped the document on the ground in his presence. This compelled Mr Ablakwa to get out of the car. He then kicked the document away from his vehicle and returned to his seat and drove off.

ITS SAD TO NOTE, AN MP DOING HIS OVERSIGHT RESPONSIBITY AND DISCOVERING QUESIONABLE TRANSACTIONS AND FIGHTING CORRUPTION IS NOW BEING FOUGHT BY ITS 'CORRUPT' CITIZENS. what sought of people are we? Why do we feel threatened as citizens when someone emerge as a crusader against corruption ?
The NDC, as an opposition party, deceitfully relies on vile propaganda to win votes. It sadly underestimates the intelligence of Ghanaians to buy into its falsehood, always portraying the government in bad faith for political points. It's all about presidential jets today and the National Cathedral tomorrow, but incompetently silent on policies that can positively impact the lives of citizens. Forgetting that the vile propaganda they make exposes them as having no scruples about stealing when they assume political power, the Ablakwa should squarly be jailed if he faults the laws in his diabolical interest.
The earliest Ablakwa apologies to the courts and the people of Ghana will be good for his political journey. I hope he does it because if he is given a One week sentence to prison will end his brilliant political career. Protest and demonstrations will never save him. He is a smart guy and he shouldn’t hesitate to apologise.
Dual nationality is no longer a crime
Ablakwa deserves custodian sentences because he is an MP and ought to know better .If he is not punish as a deterrent to other ***barred word*** Ghanaian who repeat such a disgusting behavior. Ghana has a lot of laws but the enforcement is the biggest problem with our courts .Now , this is the case study for the sitting judge and Ghanaian s are waiting to see the action
Hahahaaaa, in Europe and the America's , YES. In Ghana,a very big NO. Ablawa's first ever job in life is a political post. If he had worked in the civil or public service with superior officers above him at the work place, maybe he won't have some respect for authority. What he did is not surprising, that is Ghana for you, absolutely nothing works here.
The woes of running ahead of yourself & tripping.
