Speaking to peacefmonline.com, he said “Abrokwa never retained me so how can he fire me? I took up the case and volunteered to help him because he is my old friend. How much did he pay me? Can he even pay me? Abrokwa hasn’t paid me anything and I didn’t take anything from him but I don’t want to be part of the case anymore; that’s all".

Mr Abrokwa is facing five charges including domestic violence with emotional, verbal and psychological abuse, publication of obscene material, assault and threat of harm.
