The defendants are expected to respond to the lawsuit in the coming days.
Meanwhile, on his Fire for Fire program on Adom FM, Countryman Songo verbally attacked Paintsil over his alleged fake certificate.
John Paintsil was recently appointed as assistant coach to Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo, ahead of Ghana’s friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda in Marrakech.
