Veteran Ghanaian actress Grace Omaboe, popularly known as Maame Dokono, has threatened to sue bloggers who published reports alleging that she is sick and needs support and prayers of Ghanaians.
Earlier this week, the actress was called in to comment on a discussion on acting on Daybreak Hitz (Showbiz Review) on Hitz FM. Before she started her contribution, she prompted the presenter, KMJ and Ghanaians to forgive her bad voice because she was not feeling well.
Hours after the interview, some bloggers published stories about Maame Dokono saying she was sick and needed prayers from all fans and well-wishers to overcome the illness.
Reacting to the reports, Maame Dokono mentioned that she is very well and threatened to sue any media outlets that published that story.
“I am not sick and people are reporting that I am begging for money. I have six children, family and friends outside the country, if I need money they will provide,” furious Maame Dokono said on Daybreak Hitz Friday.
In the false of reports that went viral, Maame Dokono was likened to late veterans Araba Stamp and Bob Okala, which she found very derogatory.
She said, “how can you compare me to Bob Okala and Araba Stamp who died begging for money?”
She further threw jabs at the bloggers saying “they don’t know journalism. If I get hold of those bloggers I will drag them to court. I live good and if anything bothers me I fly to my children.”
She also disclosed that “right now the chief of my village has [assigned] a whole delegation to take care of me because I am appealing to Ghanaians for money. Why do some journalists want to disgrace me?” she quizzed
Maame Dokono shot into the limelight for her acting prowess in Obra, being a talk show host and telling stories in ‘By the Fireside’ with children.
