Abdul Mali Kwaku Baako, the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, has urged embattled businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, to stop making public statements on his GHC51 million judgment debt case which is before the Supreme Court.

According to Mr Baako, Mr Woyome can  incriminate himself if his new-found love for press conferences aimed at presenting his side of the story in the long-drawn-out judgement debt scandal continues.

"I don’t know if his lawyers have been listening to him, but if I were them I would have advised him to shut up. It is better so that everybody can focus on what is happening now," Kwaku Baako said on Joy FM/Multi TV news analysis programme, Newsfile, Saturday.

Following the Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday, November 16, 2016, that former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, should cross-examine Mr Woyome on how he spend the GH¢51.2 million, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) financier has accused the Justices of the apex court of bias.

“I feel that the Supreme Court is persecuting me,” Mr Woyome told the press, criticising the Court’s decision to allow Mr Amidu to cross-examine him.

However, speaking on Newsfile, Kwaku Baako said Mr Woyome could provoke people to revisit the issues surrounding the scandal.

"I am resisting the temptation to go back to history in terms of dealing with this matter because I think we've moved quite a lot forward, but if becomes difficult not to do that when you hear Mr Woyome talk."
