Kwasi Nyantakyi, Alhassan Discharged by High Court

An Accra High Court has discharged former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, and Abdulai Alhassan, a former Northern Regional representative of the GFA. The decision was made after the prosecution failed to produce investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in court for the trial to begin.

Nyantakyi and Alhassan had pleaded not guilty to the charges leveled against them. However, the prosecution’s inability to produce Anas, a key witness in the case, led to the discharge of the two accused persons.

It is unclear what this development means for the future of the case, but it is a significant setback for the prosecution. The case had been adjourned to October 16, 2024, pending the outcome of an appeal at the Court of Appeal.

The discharge of Nyantakyi and Alhassan has sparked mixed reactions, with some calling for further investigation and others hailing the decision as a victory for justice. As the situation unfolds, one thing is certain – the drama surrounding Ghanaian football continues to captivate the nation.
