Former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, has sued undercover investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas again, this time at the Supreme Court.
This is the second time the Nyantakyi is taking a legal action against Anas and his Tigereye PI firm. The first one was done at a High Court.
Nyantakyi wants the Supreme Court to declare that Anas’ secret recording of their conversations as well as publishing same, violates his [Nyantakyi’s] “fundamental human rights to privacy and confidentiality in my dealings with others.”
He wants the court to also declare that the recordings violated his “right to dignity” because he was not consulted before the piece was premiered and thus prayed the Apex court to award damages against Anas and his Tigereye PI firm for the said violations.
Anas in June 2018 premiered a video which supposed exposed corruption in Ghana football.
The video among other things exposed over 80 referees and match officials receiving monies to fix matches.
With regards to Nyantakyi, he was seen in the video supposedly trying to use the name of the President, Akufo-Addo, his Vice and some other government officials to seal a business deal.
Anas in the video claimed he gave Mr. Nyantakyi about $65,000 for “shopping” which violated FIFA code of ethics.
Although Kwesi Nyantakyi is serving an extension of a 90-day ban from FIFA, Anas wants him banned for life for the misconduct.
