Anas Sues Kennedy Agyepong for defamation

Investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has sued the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong for defamation. 

He is demanding 25 million Ghana cedis for damages, in addition to legal fees from Mr Agyapong who recently launched a fierce campaign against Anas’ work and his person.

Kennedy Agyapong in a series of media interviews ahead of the premiering of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ exposé on corruption in local football dubbed “Number12”, accused Anas of entrapping persons captured in the investigative film. He described Anas as corrupt and alleged that he is fond of taking bribes to exempt people he captures in his investigative films.

After releasing photos he purported to be of Anas and putting out a supposed leaked tape to back his claims of Anas being corrupt, Kennedy Agyapong called for the lynching of Anas for his nefarious acts. 

In a writ of summons, Anas is suing Kennedy Agyepong for general damages for libel in his publications and aggravated damages arising from such publications.
