‘Grievous allegations’ – Sam George reacts to 24/7 surveillance, attempted assassination claim

Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, has dismissed allegations made in a video circulating online, describing them as baseless and damaging.

The video features a lone protester who claimed that Sam George placed him under 24/7 surveillance, hacked his communications; an incident he claimed he reported to the Ghana Police Service under the leadership of IGP George Akuffo Dampare.

The man further alleged a cover‑up of the matter and further stated that George ordered the assassination of his brother in November 2023.

Responding to this in a statement and sighted by GhanaWeb on August 19, 2026, Sam George stressed that the claims are severe allegations with no basis or facts and noted that at the time referenced, he was not serving as minister and therefore had no legal or official authority to conduct surveillance or cyber monitoring.

“He claims I put him under surveillance and also hacked him 24/7. He further claims that he reported the case to the Ghana Police Service at the time under the leadership of IGP Dampare. He alleges a cover-up by the Police.

“He further claims that to silence him, I ordered the assassination of his only brother. He says all of these happened in November 2023, a time when I was not a Minister for Communication as I am today and had no legal or official authority to place anyone under surveillance or cyber monitoring,” the statement said.

“These are grievous allegations with no basis or facts, and they impugn criminal action on my part,” he added.

The MP emphasised that he has taken the matter to the appropriate authorities to ensure due process and accountability.

“I have therefore lodged a formal complaint with the authorities and asked that the individual be invited to substantiate his claims in the interest of justice. For God and Country,” Sam George stated.
