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.
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, “risk[s] misleading the public.”
“Under 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,” he said, adding that he was responding only because they were “seeking to drag my name into contempt and disrepute, something they have done and continue to do since 2018.”
He disputed claims that the Attorney General withdrew charges against him, describing such assertions as “false, untrue, or a blatant lie.
“It 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.
“For 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 ‘…may choose to testify as prosecution witness or not.’ Only a terrorist would be afraid to present himself in court to defend his shameful acts.
“A 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.”
Nyantakyi was emphatic that Tiger Eye PI is “neither a complainant nor a witness in the criminal case instituted by the Republic against me at the High Court,” insisting that his comments during a JoyNews interview on January 6, 2026, had “nothing to do with Tiger Eye PI.”
Addressing claims attributed to Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Nyantakyi maintained that Anas “made no reference (directly or indirectly) to any demonstrable effort by me (current or in the past) to peddle misinformation and disinformation about the ‘cut-and-paste’ sham called Number 12.”
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 “a blatant falsehood.”
“In 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,” he stated, questioning how “the criminal case suddenly metamorphosed into a civil case without any legal basis.”
Nyantakyi further accused Anas of refusing to testify in court, insisting that the Republic had legal options to compel his appearance.
“After 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,” he stated
Turning to allegations of threats, Nyantakyi flatly denied ever threatening Anas or any of his associates.
“For 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,” Nyantakyi said, challenging Anas to submit evidence to the police “and stop peddling falsehood.”
In one of the strongest passages of the statement, Nyantakyi criticised what he described as Anas’s posture above the law, arguing that “a prosecution witness in a criminal case cannot place himself above the law and still insist on the illegal stance.”
“As a conman and ‘investigative terrorist’ that he is, he considers himself a demigod who should be placed above the law,” Nyantakyi added.
“It 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,” Nyantakyi said.
According to him, Anas’s continued public commentary reveals “an unknown personal agenda of hatred against me,” which he said “has nothing to do with the public interest.”
He concluded by clarifying that while he referenced the criminal case in his January 6 interview, “the civil cases against Anas haven’t been abandoned,” and dismissed the final portions of the Tiger Eye PI statement as “needless opinions… of no interest to me.”
