Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi has been cleared of all charges in the long-running legal battle stemming from the explosive Number 12 exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The High Court in Accra dismissed the case after the prosecution failed to present key witnesses, including Anas, leading to a lack of substantial evidence.
This ruling effectively ends years of legal uncertainty surrounding Nyantakyi, whose downfall in 2018 shook Ghanaian and African football governance.

His acquittal has sparked mixed reactions, with supporters celebrating his exoneration while critics question the broader implications for accountability in sports administration.
The case also highlights concerns about the judicial process, particularly regarding the prosecution’s inability to secure crucial testimonies.
With this legal battle now behind him, Nyantakyi may seek a return to football administration or explore other ventures.
This verdict reshapes the discourse on corruption investigations in Ghanaian sports and governance.
