Yaw Dabo Sues Oboy Siki for calling Him “k)te Ketewa”

In a dramatic legal escalation that has captured significant attention online, seasoned Kumawood actor Yaw Dabo has filed a lawsuit against fellow thespian Oboy Siki over highly provocative remarks made during a televised interview. Pulse Network Hub team monitored reactions across social media and entertainment forums, where the controversy has sparked heated debate.

The case centers on statements Oboy Siki made during an appearance on Gh Page TV, where he recounted past interactions with Yaw Dabo and included several remarks that the plaintiff describes as not only defamatory but deeply humiliating. According to the interview transcript, Oboy Siki referred to Yaw Dabo as “k)te ketewa,” a derogatory term implying small genitalia, and went on to claim that no woman would take Dabo seriously because of it. He also questioned Dabo’s legitimacy as the founder of his own soccer academy, suggesting that he was only the face of the organisation rather than its true owner. 

These comments, widely shared and discussed on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and comment sections of entertainment blogs, reportedly prompted Yaw Dabo to pursue legal redress, asserting that Oboy Siki’s words have harmed his personal reputation and professional image. The actor’s legal team has filed the suit under Ghana’s defamation provisions, highlighting how injurious public assertions can be when broadcast to wide audiences. 

While Oboy Siki has yet to formally respond to the lawsuit in court, sources close to the matter have confirmed that he has publicly expressed remorse in interviews and even reached out to mutual friends and industry colleagues to plead for reconciliation. In one recent interview, Oboy Siki acknowledged that his comments were made in a moment of anger and asked for forgiveness, emphasising that he never intended to irreparably damage someone he had worked with for years.

The unfolding dispute has drawn strong reactions online, with many fans and entertainment observers weighing in on whether public figures should face legal consequences for controversial speech, especially when it spills into personal attacks. Others have used the situation to comment on broader issues around respect, professionalism in showbiz, and the role of media platforms like Gh Page TV in facilitating heated exchanges between celebrities.

At the time of writing, Yaw Dabo’s legal action remains active, and Oboy Siki’s formal court response is still pending. Pulse Network Hub team will continue to monitor updates as this case develops and provide timely reporting on its progress.
