Lawyer Ato Dazie said the persistent attacks on Betty Mould’s persona could have dire consequences on her hard earned reputation both home and abroad.
“No matter what it is, we should show minimum respect to her [Betty] even if we think she is the devil,” he decried.
Nana Ato Dazie was reacting to a publication by a Leicestershire-based newspaper, The Leicester Recorder Tuesday, purporting that Betty Mould Iddrisu had purchased properties in expensive suburbs of the United Kingdom.
The newspaper said the former AG, apart from the houses at 252 High Road, Loughton, Essex, IG10 1RB, has also deposited millions of cedis in a Barclays bank account in the UK.
But the story which was published on Ghanaweb.com has since been removed following the public uproar about the ‘controversial acquisition’ of the said properties.
However, Nana Ato Dadzie on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday, said the story is a fabrication intended to “ridicule, disgrace and defame” madam Betty Mould Iddrissu.

He explained that his client has not bought any house in the UK or own a Barclays bank account as was reported in a UK-based newspaper.
“It is a serious matter [because] if the lady does not have an account with Barclays; if the woman doesn’t have a house in London, then who are the people crafting this vile and wicked lies against her,” Nana exclaimed.
Ato Dazie indicated that his checks in Leicester proved that no such newspaper with the name The Leicester Recorder exits in Britain making the publication an absolute falsehood to tarnish the image of Betty Mould.
He said given the level of politicking in the country, we should not descend into the realms of absurdity.
Nana Ato Dazie stated unequivocally that they will sue Ghanaweb.com for not doing due diligence before publishing the story.
