A member of former Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong’s team, Wofa Jerry has stated categorically that the former MP will not pay any amount in the US$18,000,000 awarded to investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
According to him, Anas and his team breached some procedural rules and confidently added that Anas will end up paying more than $18,000,000 in damages to Kennedy Agyapong.
“In the court room they warned everybody not to take videos. They said we can take pictures but no videos. Anas took a video which captured even the judge, and that’s another case.”
He added that Anas is making Ghanaians think Kennedy will pay him the $18,000,000, “but Afia mark my words today, Anas will not even get $50. He will end up paying more.”
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has won an $18 million defamation lawsuit against former Ghanaian Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.
Anas secured this significant legal victory in the United States, after the verdict was delivered by a jury in Essex County, New Jersey.
The lawsuit which was filed on May 17, 2022, in the Essex County Superior Court, saw the assessed, Kennedy Agyapong and media personality Frederick Asamoah facing charges of making defamatory statements against Anas during an episode of The Daddy Fred Show, an online program popular among Ghanaian audiences in the United States.
Appearing on the show, Kennedy Agyapong allegedly made a series of damaging and false claims, including accusing Anas of being a criminal, a thief, and responsible for the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Suale.
Suale, a key member of Anas’ investigative team, was assassinated in 2019 following the release of Number 12, a documentary that exposed corruption in Ghanaian football.
The court documents highlighted several specific allegations made by Agyapong, including:
- Falsely claiming that Anas had been convicted of crimes in Ghana.
- Accusing Anas of orchestrating Ahmed Suale’s murder.
- Asserting that Anas was responsible for the deaths of multiple Chinese nationals in Ghana.
- Labeling Anas as a thief.
