Legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has jabbed Member of Parliament for Nhyieso, Stephen Amoah, popularly known as Sticka, over his reaction regarding a dispute involving the family of the late NADMO deputy director, Samuel Aboagye. The criticism comes amid reports linking Sticka to a past relationship with Aboagye’s widow, Abigail Salami.
Lawyer Ampaw said Sticka “did not show maturity” in responding to the speculation during an appearance on Kumasi-based Wontumi Radio.
“The speculation around was that the MP in question who allegedly had a thing with the late NADMO deputy director’s wife was in the Ashanti region and no one specifically pointed to Sticka, so he should have remained calm,” Ampaw explained.
“I think Sticka didn’t help himself by coming out and saying he had dated her before; that was a foolish thing to say. Some things are meant to be kept secret, you don’t just reveal them, you deny them.
“No one even knew he had a relationship with her, and even if they did, he should have denied it. The girl is the one forcing the issue. At first, they said it was Vincent.
“It’s only speculation that it is an MP from Ashanti, and the exact person was not mentioned, so he should have remained calm. Why did he have to expose that he had a relationship with her before?”
The controversy follows the death of Samuel Aboagye in a helicopter crash on August 6, 2025. According to reports from Angel FM, tensions escalated after the government requested DNA samples from immediate family members to identify the remains of the crash victims before sending them to South Africa for testing.
Abigail allegedly refused to allow the test on her young daughter, prompting another relative to stand in for the child.
Aboagye’s family has accused Abigail of allegedly engaging in a secret romantic relationship with an MP both before and after her husband’s death.
