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 practitioner and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, of Merton and Everette LLP, Huletey has sued the , 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.
