A subsistence farmer from Nankese in the Eastern Region, Kwabena Huletey, is seeking GH₵9.9 million in damages for a seven-year ordeal of wrongful imprisonment that he said shattered his health, family, and livelihood.

Represented by private legal practitioenr and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, of Merton and Everette LLP, Huletey has sued the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Prisons Service, and the Attorney General, alleging systemic neglect and false accusations that led to his unjust detention.

According to a report by the Fourth Estate, Huletey's troubles began in 2015 when he traveled to Akuapem Adawso to plan a customary marriage with 19-year-old Dela Hunukeh, a family friend's daughter.

Recently separated from his first wife, with whom he had three children, Huletey embraced the match, unaware of the tragedy that would follow.
