Actor and politician John Dumelo has vehemently denied recent reports suggesting that he claimed university ladies were yearning to have an affair with him.
Reports went viral on social media on Monday, April 1, 2024, that Dumelo had made the claims in an interview with Joselyn Dumas.
Several media outlets reported, based on a video, that Dumelo had stated that students from the University of Ghana, the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), and other female fans were making advances at him.
However, the politician aspiring to become the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon on the NDC's ticket took to social media to urge Ghanaians to disregard the reports, dismissing them as baseless.
"Please treat this with the contempt it deserves," Dumelo tweeted.
The actor-turned-politician had earlier clarified that the said interview was done about 10 years ago. He noted that it was around 2014 to 2015.
