Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong has issued a press release informing the general public about a significant reduction in the $18 million defamation award against him in the Anas Aremeyaw Anas case, which was ruled on by a Federal Court in the United States.
Details of the statement are provided below:
“The US Federal Court has delivered a significant legal victory for Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong by reducing an earlier $18 million defamation award against him to a symbolic sum of $500.
This outcome follows a successful motion for remittitur filed by Mr. Agyapong’s legal team, which argued that the original jury award was grossly excessive and unsupported by the evidence presented at trial. After a careful judicial review, the presiding judge agreed, describing the $18 million in damages as disproportionate and legally unsustainable.
The court’s decision to reduce the amount to a nominal $500 represents not only a resounding legal vindication but also a reaffirmation of Mr. Agyapong’s longstanding belief in justice, fairness, and the right to speak truth to power.
Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong extends his deep appreciation to all well-wishers and patriotic Ghanaians, both at home and abroad, who stood by him with prayers, encouragement, and moral support throughout the legal process.
He reaffirms his commitment to upholding the values of integrity, bold leadership, and dedicated service to the Ghanaian people, vowing never to relent in his efforts to defend truth and accountability in public life.”
