A Plus Clears His Name After Fake Facebook Account Stirs Corruption Allegations
Ghanaian musician and outspoken political figure, A Plus, is speaking out after a fake social media account used his name to spread false claims about Dr. Dominic Ayine, Ghana’s Deputy Attorney General.
In a statement clarifying the situation, A Plus denied making the accusations of corruption against Dr. Ayine, which had gone viral on Facebook.
The confusion began when a fraudulent Facebook page under A Plus’ name posted a message accusing Dr. Ayine of being involved in corrupt activities.
The allegations quickly gained traction, prompting public outcry and calls for the Deputy Attorney General to step down. However, A Plus, who has a history of speaking out on political matters, vehemently denied any involvement in the scandal.
In an exclusive interview with a local media outlet, A Plus explained that he had no connection to the fake profile, which had used his image and name to deceive the public. He also revealed that a reliable source alerted him to the falsehoods being spread online, prompting him to address the situation immediately.
“I never made those accusations against Dr. Ayine,” A Plus stated. “Someone created a fake account with my name and has been spreading lies. This person is trying to create confusion and tarnish reputations.”
The musician-turned-activist condemned the actions of the impostor, noting that such tactics harm the integrity of social media discussions and undermine the efforts of those genuinely working to combat corruption in Ghana. He urged the public to exercise caution when encountering sensational posts, emphasizing the importance of verifying sources before jumping to conclusions.
Dr. Ayine, for his part, expressed relief upon hearing that A Plus was not responsible for the false accusations. He appreciated the clarity provided by the musician and reassured the public that he remains committed to transparency and integrity in his role as Deputy Attorney General.
This revelation has caused the controversy surrounding Dr. Ayine to lose momentum, with many now focusing on the issue of fake social media accounts and the risks they pose. A Plus urged Ghanaians to take action against such deceptive practices, calling for more accountability in the digital age.
As the situation unfolds, the episode serves as a timely reminder of the dangers of misinformation on social media and the need for greater vigilance in ensuring that public figures’ names and images are not exploited for malicious purposes.
A Plus, whose political commentary often touches on corruption and accountability, reiterated that he remains steadfast in his mission to hold public officials accountable. However, he made it clear that misleading claims and disinformation would not be part of his approach.
In the coming days, A Plus has promised to continue his advocacy for a transparent and accountable government, while also encouraging the public to engage responsibly with information shared online.
