Court documents state that Williams allegedly assaulted the nurse, resulting in injuries such as a dislocated shoulder and hand damage, impairing her ability to perform her professional duties.
The statement of claim also accuses Williams of making defamatory remarks against Bortei, labelling her a “liar” and alleging that she fabricated her injuries:
Liar, wo se wo nsam abu. Duabɔ bebam. You say you have suffered an injured hand and a dislocated shoulder. This is cooked up to cover the nonsense going on at the hospital.

Bortei’s legal team, led by Charles Delali Blagogee of Blagogee, Blacksword & Co., argues that these public comments have tarnished her professional reputation, exposed her to public ridicule, and damaged her credibility as a healthcare worker.
The nurse is seeking the following reliefs from the court:
A public apology and retraction of the defamatory statements, issued with equal prominence.
A perpetual injunction restraining Williams from further defamatory remarks.
A 50-metre restraining order against Williams.
