Controversial social media personality Albert Nathaniel Hyde, widely known as Bongo Ideas, has found himself in legal trouble following a defamation lawsuit filed by Kojo Onipayede, also known as Kojo Forex.
On May 17, 2023, Kojo Forex filed an amended statement of claim with the court, accusing Bongo Ideas of libel. In the suit, Kojo Forex sought damages totalling one million Ghana cedis (GH₵1,000,000).
After reviewing the evidence presented, Justice Forson Agyapong Baah of the Accra High Court Jurisdiction 2 delivered a ruling on January 28, 2025.
The court awarded Kojo Forex general damages of GH₵100,000, along with an additional GH₵50,000 for aggravated, exemplary, and compensatory damages. Furthermore, the defendant was ordered to pay GH₵20,000 in legal costs.
In addition to the financial awards, the court granted several other reliefs to the plaintiff.
Bongo Ideas was ordered to publicly apologize for the defamatory statements made and to retract them on his Twitter page within 21 days of the judgment. The court also issued a permanent injunction preventing Bongo Ideas from making or publishing any further defamatory statements regarding Kojo Forex.
This ruling marks a significant legal setback for Bongo Ideas, who has often been a figure of controversy on social media.
