Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, says he was discharged by Accra High Court contrary to claims by Tiger Eye PI that Attorney General dropped charges against him.<\/p>\n

In a strongly worded 14-point response dated January 14, 2026, Nyantakyi said the Tiger Eye PI January 6 statement reacting to an interview he granted on JoyNews, if left unanswered, \u201crisk[s] misleading the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder normal circumstances, the press statement by Tiger Eye PI, a busybody in this matter, ought to have been ignored and treated with the contempt it deserves,\u201d he said, adding that he was responding only because they were \u201cseeking to drag my name into contempt and disrepute, something they have done and continue to do since 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

He disputed claims that the Attorney General withdrew charges against him, describing such assertions as \u201cfalse, untrue, or a blatant lie.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of public record that, in the Republic v Kwesi Nyantakyi, the High Court struck out the charges twice after the Republic failed to present witnesses (including Anas) in prosecuting the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than five years, Anas failed to present himself as a witness for the state. It is public record that he said on 8th November 2022 that he \u2018\u2026may choose to testify as prosecution witness or not.\u2019 Only a terrorist would be afraid to present himself in court to defend his shameful acts.<\/p>\n

\u201cA man of integrity would not turn around, for inexplicable reasons, to peddle falsehood by claiming the Attorney General withdrew charges against me when he knew that to be false, untrue, or a blatant lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyantakyi was emphatic that Tiger Eye PI is \u201cneither a complainant nor a witness in the criminal case instituted by the Republic against me at the High Court,\u201d insisting that his comments during a JoyNews interview on January 6, 2026, had \u201cnothing to do with Tiger Eye PI.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Number<\/figure>\n

Addressing claims attributed to Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Nyantakyi maintained that Anas \u201cmade no reference (directly or indirectly) to any demonstrable effort by me (current or in the past) to peddle misinformation and disinformation about the \u2018cut-and-paste\u2019 sham called Number 12.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former CAF 1st Vice President also dismissed assertions that he suggested a personal legal battle between himself and Anas, describing that portion of the Tiger Eye PI statement as \u201ca blatant falsehood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the entire interview on JoyNews, I never created any impression that Anas Aremeyaw Anas had a personal legal battle against me. I referred only to the criminal case against me intitule The Republic v Kwesi Nyantakyi,\u201d he stated, questioning how \u201cthe criminal case suddenly metamorphosed into a civil case without any legal basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nyantakyi further accused Anas of refusing to testify in court, insisting that the Republic had legal options to compel his appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter refusing to testify in court and boasting about the said refusal, the Republic could have compelled Anas to testify through the issue of a subpoena against him,\u201d he stated<\/p>\n

Turning to allegations of threats, Nyantakyi flatly denied ever threatening Anas or any of his associates.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the records, I have never threatened anybody, dead or alive, including the slain colleague of Anas Aremeyaw Anas. He has told this lie for more than six (6) years,\u201d Nyantakyi said, challenging Anas to submit evidence to the police \u201cand stop peddling falsehood.\u201d<\/p>\n

In one of the strongest passages of the statement, Nyantakyi criticised what he described as Anas\u2019s posture above the law, arguing that \u201ca prosecution witness in a criminal case cannot place himself above the law and still insist on the illegal stance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a conman and \u2018investigative terrorist\u2019 that he is, he considers himself a demigod who should be placed above the law,\u201d Nyantakyi added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of public record that, in The Republic v Kwesi Nyantakyi, the High Court struck out the charges twice after the Republic failed to present witnesses (including Anas) in prosecuting the case,\u201d Nyantakyi said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Anas\u2019s continued public commentary reveals \u201can unknown personal agenda of hatred against me,\u201d which he said \u201chas nothing to do with the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded by clarifying that while he referenced the criminal case in his January 6 interview, \u201cthe civil cases against Anas haven\u2019t been abandoned,\u201d and dismissed the final portions of the Tiger Eye PI statement as \u201cneedless opinions\u2026 of no interest to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
