min a recent post he has shared on his media outlets, he has outline some key issues on how his $18M defamation suit against the former member of parliament for Assin Fosu Hon Kennedy Agyapong dropped from that amount to $500. His post reads below
11 May 2025 | PRESS RELEASE
OUR VICTORY IS IN THE JUDGEMENT AND NOT THE AWARD
As Ghanaians may recall, a couple of weeks ago, an American jury found Kennedy Agyapong guilty of maliciously defaming my character.
Consequent to the finding by the jury, an amount of $18M was awarded in my favour against Kennedy Agyapong.
Following the award, Kennedy Agyapong filed a motion for remittitur, asking the judge to reduce the amount awarded against him. Thus, inherent in his motion, Kennedy Agyapong admitted to having maliciously defamed me.
Today, the trial judge granted Kennedy Agyapong’s motion for remittitur and reduced the initial award to $500. This means that, while the judge held that Kennedy Agyapong had defamed me, in his reasoning, the award against Kennedy Agyapong by the jury was excessive.
Many avenues of redemption accrue to me. But, it is important to state, as I previously did, that, this fight has not been about the money, but rather, a fight for truth and justice.
I am happy that not a single allegation was proven against me in court when Kennedy Agyapong was given full opportunity to substantiate.
I will continue in my relentless fight against corruption – and in doing that, continue to name, shame, and jail
Signed
