Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has indeed won a defamation lawsuit against Kennedy Agyapong in a US court, with the jury awarding $18 million in damages.
This landmark ruling has sent shockwaves through Ghana’s media and political landscape.
According to reports, Kennedy Agyapong and media personality Frederick Asamoah were accused of making false and damaging claims about Anas during an episode. The court’s verdict is a significant victory for Anas, who has been a vocal advocate for transparency and accountability in Ghana.
It’s worth noting that Kennedy Agyapong had previously dared Anas to take him on, boasting that he had the resources to hire the best lawyers in America. However, it seems that his confidence was misplaced, and he’s now facing a substantial damages bill.
While some reports had initially cast doubt on the verdict, it appears that the $18 million damages award is indeed legitimate. This ruling serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible speech and the need to hold public figures accountable for their words and actions.
