Court discharges Kwesi Nyantakyi after five-year legal battle

Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former President of the Ghana Football Association has been discharged following the failure of ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas to testify in court.

According to reports, the Accra High Court presided over by her ladyship Justice Marie-Louise Simmons on Thursday, February 13, 2025, discharged Kwesi Nyantakyi and Abdulai Alhassan a former Northern Regional FA chairman as the state could not adduce sufficient evidence against them.

A Court of Appeal ruling on January 30, indicated that Anas Aremeyaw Anas who was the last of the state’s five witnesses was only going to be allowed to testify if he did so without a mask on.

With Anas unwilling to testify against Nyantakyi and Abdulai Alhassan who were facing charges of fraud by agents and corruption related to their involvement in the #Number 12 exposé, the court has discharged them.

The discharge has brought to an end the five-year trial of Nyantakyi who was captured in the documentary engaging in activities alleged to be corruption and influence peddling.
