KKD'S BROTHER UNDER POLICE INVESTIGATION IN LONDON

The London Metropolitan Police (LMP) are
investigating a case in which Yaw A. Darkwah,
brother of celebrity broadcaster and fashion icon
Kwesi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) is alleged to have
threatened to send thugs to a London-based
Ghanaian lady, Dilys Fit Chic Sillah for posting
videos of herself on YouTube doing some analysis
of the recent KKD alleged rape case.
Dilys posted three videos on Youtube critically
analyzing the manner in which the KKD case was
handled at the legal, socio-cultural and
psychological levels. At no point did Dilys say that
KKD was guilty of the offence. Neither did she say
the 19-year-old lady was innocent.
But KKD’s brother, Yaw Darkwah sent a message
to Dilys’ Facebook inbox threatening to send his
“trolls” to Dilys if she talked about KKD again.
A copy of the message he sent to Dilys is available
to Adom News and it read, “Talk about HIM again
and I will send my trolls to you”.
According to Dilys, subsequent to that initial threat,
he (Yaw Darkwah) and his so-called trolls sent
several other very insulting and threatening
messages to her on Facebook.
She therefore reported the matter to Facebook and
also to the London Metropolitan Police on Tuesday
January 20, 2015. The case reference number at the
LMP is CAD7285/20-01.
The police followed up to her house on Wednesday
January 21, 2015 and picked up the evidence
against Yaw Darkwah and his trolls. The evidence
comprised of about 40 different insulting and
treacherous Facebook message.
“The police also promised to make a formal
complaint to Facebook themselves,” Dilys said.
In one of the messages, available to Adom New,
Darkwah posted about the how untouchable the
Darkwah family was and dared Dilys to post any
more messages on social media about KKD.
Darkwah wiped from Facebook
Meanwhile, following Dilys’ report to Facebook, Yaw
Darkwah’s official Facebook account is now
completely wipe out. It is not clear if Facebook
wiped him out or wiped the content out to hide
evidence. But the account now reads “Content not
available.”
Prior to the wiping of Yaw Darkwah’s Facebook
account, Adom News sent two messages to Yaw
Darkwah on Facebook requesting him to avail
himself of the opportunity to tell his side of the story
but he did not respond to the request.
Dilys however told Adom News she was not
perturbed by the threats of Yaw Darkwah but was
worried that 19-year-old Ewuraeffe Orleans
Thompson may have been subjected to similar
threats, which compelled her to abandon the court
case against KKD.
“I am going to continue to speak to the various
aspects of this issue, how it has been poorly
handled and how that affects young people and
victims of abuse in our society,” she said. “I think
we need serious reforms in our legal and socio-
cultural environment because characters in such
cases need better protection than those in the KKD
saga got.”
Dilys is convinced the matter was not handled well
from the legal, socio-cultural and psychological
angles. She said if a similar case had occurred in
London the characters would have been sure of
maximum protection and psychological assistance
all the way to the end of the case.
“The way we put the girl’s name, her pictures and
her hospital report into the media was very bad – if
this had happened in the UK there was no way the
lady’s details will get out into the media the way it
did. We behave as if women elsewhere are better
than women in Africa and that is what worries me
as a Ghanaian woman living in the UK,” she said.
