Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has been discharged after Anas Aremeyaw Anas, a top investigative journalist, failed to show up in court.
The Accra High Court, presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Marie-Louise Simmons, reportedly dismissed Kwesi Nyantakyi and former Northern Regional FA head Abdulai Alhassan on Thursday, February 13, 2025, on the grounds that the state was unable to present enough 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.
