The Supreme Court has ordered investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas to appear in open Court to face the former President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
Mr Nyantakyi in May this year petitioned the Supreme Court to quash an order by the Accra High Court for Anas Aremeyaw Anas to testify in camera.
According to Nyantakyi, the High Court’s ruling was erroneous and prayed the Supreme Court to allow the investigative journalist’s testimony to be public.
A ruling by the Supreme Court on Tuesday presided over by Justice Baffoe-Bonnie stated that the celebrated investigative journalist should appear in court and testify publicly.
Background
Nyantakyi appeared before the Accra High Court in March 2021 and was slapped with three charges.
The disgraced football administrator’s charges include conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud and corruption by a public officer, the document filed by the Attorney General’s office listed.
This was after Nyantakyi was captured in Anas’ ‘Number 12’ exposé, allegedly taking cash gifts and peddling influence.
This led to him resigning as GFA President, as well as losing his positions as FIFA Council Member and 1st Vice President of CAF.
