The High Court’s decision in Kennedy Agyapong’s defamation case, according to former Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kwesi Nyantakyi, has come to justify what he has been saying about Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The investigative journalist had sued the Assin Central Member of Parliament in defamation for airing a video titled “Who watches the watchman” in response to Anas’s number 12 documentary that brought down Kwesi Nyantakyi.
The court released the verdict on Wednesday, quashing Anas’s plea for a defamation cost of GHC25m, but rather slapped him with a GHC50,000 fine.
Reacting to the judgement on Kennedy Agyapong’s Oman FM, Nyantakyi’s said: “Today’s High Court decision has brought the truth to light. Everyone has seen that Anas Aremeyaw Anas is not truthful. In the word’s of the judge, he’s a blackmailer and an extortionist.
“When my case came, he made someone to come and see me. He’s called Kwame Gyan, he’s a lecturer at Legon. It’s Kwame Gyan he sent to come and see me; I don’t know Kwame Gyan anywhere, I’ve never met him.
“He went and brought Adam Mukaila; he led him to my house and they said I should pay some huge money for them to end the case.
“The extortionist the judge talked about has come to confirm everything Anas does. If he or his friend doesn’t like you, they’ll come and do a video on you, when he’s done, they’ll bring the video to you and tell you this is what I have about you, if you don’t bring this amount of money, I’ll destroy you.
“Those that pay the money, they’ll cancel the video.
“I’m someone they’ve done that to me before, it’s because they asked me to pay money and I refused, that’s why they publish my issue to the world.
“I’ve already said it before that the tiger eye PI group is a terrorist organization.”
“The area where she had plugged the radio was where the smoke started from. She had arranged so many things around the electric socket.
