Anas had sued Kennedy Agyapong for airing a video titled "Who Watches the Watchman" in response to Anas's number 12 documentary that led to the downfall of Nyantakyi. The court's verdict on Wednesday rejected Anas's request for a GHC25m defamation cost but instead imposed a GHC50,000 fine.
Nyantakyi reacted to the ruling on Kennedy Agyapong's Oman FM, stating that "Today's High Court decision has brought the truth to light. Everyone has seen that Anas Aremeyaw Anas is not truthful. In the words of the judge, he's a blackmailer and an extortionist."
Nyantakyi further alleged that Anas sent someone named Kwame Gyan to see him and demanded a large sum of money to end the case. He claimed that Anas and his team are extortionists who use their videos to blackmail people and demand money. Nyantakyi also described Anas's Tiger Eye PI group as a terrorist organization.
“When my case came, he made someone to come and see me. He’s called Kwame Gyan, he’s a lecturer at Legon. It’s Kwame Gyan he sent to come and see me; I don’t know Kwame Gyan anywhere, I’ve never met him.
“He went and brought Adam Mukaila; he led him to my house and they said I should pay some huge money for them to end the case.
“The extortionist the judge talked about has come to confirm everything Anas does. If he or his friend doesn’t like you, they’ll come and do a video on you, when he’s done, they’ll bring the video to you and tell you this is what I have about you, if you don’t bring this amount of money, I’ll destroy you.
“Those that pay the money, they’ll cancel the video.
“I’m someone they’ve done that to me before, it’s because they asked me to pay money and I refused, that’s why they publish my issue to the world.
“I’ve already said it before that the tiger eye PI group is a terrorist organization.”
The ruling has sparked controversy and reignited the debate over the credibility of Anas's investigative journalism.
