An Accra High Court has discharged former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi and his co-accused after a protracted five-year trial that saw the prosecution fail to present a single witness.
The ruling, delivered by Her Ladyship Justice Marie-Louise Simmonds, followed the prosecution's inability to secure testimony from any of its five listed witnesses.
The case, which stemmed from the 2018 investigative exposé by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, initially led to Nyantakyi's resignation and subsequent bans.
Despite years of court hearings, the prosecution never called a witness to testify against Nyantakyi.
