“Anas’s Bizarre Courtroom Disguise Sparks Debate Amid Legal Battle with Kennedy Agyapong

In 2021, on a show called The Daddy Fred Show, Ghanaian politician and former MP Mr. Kennedy Agyapong made surprise revelations and allegations while being on the show against investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

The politician made allegations that the journalist was involved in the death of his fellow journalist, Ahmed Suale.

Mr. Kennedy Agyapong also accused the journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas of being a cunning thief who wants to threaten people and record them for his own benefit. These allegations created a lot of confusion in the country.

These accusations allowed Anas Aremeyaw Anas to file a defamation suit against Mr. Kennedy Agyapong.

One shocking thing is that the investigative journalist came with a prosthetic look to make him appear weird. This got netizens talking about the weird appearance he brought to the court in the United States of America.

Even Kennedy Agyapong himself was stunned because he couldn’t make him out. The journalist was given the privilege to dress like that because of his claims of being an investigative journalist, and his life is always at stake due to the dangerous nature of his job. Some people laughed about his look, while others were still angry at the fact that they still couldn’t recognize him.

On the 18th of March, the journalist won the defamation suit against the Honourable, with an amount of $18 million to be given to him.

People are awed by the amount because they question how Kennedy is going to pay all this money being mentioned.

The shocking thing is that people believe that the money is very small for the politician since he has proclaimed himself rich by all standards.

In March 2023, the Accra High Court ruled against Anas and called his form of investigative journalism “investigative terrorism.” These two contrasting statements and rulings have got more netizens confused.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Agyapong and his supporters feel justified by the Ghanaian courts ruling, insisting that Anas approach to journalism is harmful and deceptive. Some social media users argue that the different rulings highlight the differences in judicial systems and their approach to defamation and press freedom. Others speculate about political influences behind the verdicts, questioning whether justice was truly served in either case. The controversy has kept Ghanaians divided, with some praising Anas for his courage while others continue to criticize his secretive methods.
