Ms Angela List, a shareholder of BCM Ghana Limited, has denied media reports linking her to an alleged violent incident at the company’s Spintex facility, describing the claims as false, misleading and damaging to her reputation.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Accra copied The Ghanaian Times, Ms List strongly refuted reports published on August 4 by some media outlets claiming that “thugs” or “landguards” acting on her behalf were involved in an attack.
She insisted no such incident occurred, saying the truth was that the Ghana Police Service lawfully intervened to stop the dismantling and theft of BCM equipment.
According to her, the police acted fully within their legal powers to protect the company’s property from people attempting to remove and sell its assets illegally.
She said describing this lawful intervention as violence was a gross misrepresentation and an attempt to distract from what she called acts of theft and asset stripping.
Ms List further explained that the assets of BCM Ghana Limited are currently protected by a Court of Appeal order issued on May 26, 2025, in the case of Angela Diala List v. Paul Edward List & Others (Suit No. H/236/2025).
The order states that no property of the company can be disposed of without the court’s approval and with notice to all parties until the appeal is concluded.
She said the individuals who tried to take the equipment were not acting lawfully and could be in contempt of court.
“The assets of BCM Ghana Limited are not for sale under any circumstances,” she stressed, warning that any buyer who attempts to purchase such property does so at their own risk.
Addressing the media directly, Ms List warned that the publication of unverified or false claims was a breach of journalistic ethics.
She said journalists had a duty to check their facts before publishing and that those who failed to do so could face legal action under Ghana’s defamation and media laws. “Responsible journalism demands fact-checking before publication. The public deserves nothing less,” she stated.
