Kwesi Nyantakyi, the former head of Ghana’s football association, sees his February 13, 2025 discharge from the Accra High Court as proof of his claim that the June 6, 2018, Number 12 exposé wrongly targeted him.
In a post-ruling statement, Nyantakyi expressed his appreciation to his family, legal team (Sory@Law), friends, and supporters for their steadfast support throughout the protracted legal proceedings.
In reflecting on the past five years, he recalled the difficulties he faced and noted the prosecution’s consistent lack of evidence.
When he was first arraigned in the High Court on March 4, 2020, Nyantakyi faced charges of conspiracy to commit fraud by an agent, fraud by an agent, and corruption by a public officer.
After nine court appearances, his case was dismissed on March 11, 2021, because the prosecution couldn’t provide a witness statement.
“The prosecution may need more time to prepare,” remarked Justice Comfort Tasiame, the presiding judge.
The familiar adage, “Justice delayed is justice denied,” was also highlighted by her.
