Private legal practitioner, Ace Anan Ankomah, has commenced legal steps to enforce a GH¢2.95 million defamation judgment awarded to him against US-based Ghanaian social commentator, Kevin Ekow Baidoo Taylor, according to a graphiconline.com report.
According to the news report, the judgment stems from a defamation suit Ankomah filed in 2019 against Taylor and his media outfit, Loud Silence Media.
In February 2020, the Accra High Court, presided over by Justice Kweku T Ackaah-Boafo, ruled in Ankomah's favour and ordered Taylor to pay substantial damages for defamatory comments made in his social media programme, With All Due Respect.
Taylor, who had been residing outside Ghana and did not appear in court during the proceedings, had alleged in one of his video episodes that Ankomah was part of a conspiracy involving a Dubai-based minerals company and certain senior officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), aimed at tarnishing the reputation of embattled Menzgold CEO, Nana Appiah Mensah, also known as NAM1.
