Anas Aremeyaw Anas ordered to appear in court without mask to face ex-GFA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi

• Anas to face Kwasi Nyantaky without mask.

The Supreme Court of Ghana has ordered investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas to appear in open court without his mask to face the former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi.

This comes after the Supreme Court quashed an earlier ruling by a lower court giving permission to Anas to testify in camera.

The journalist, whose investigation led to Nyantakyi resigning several football posts, claimed his life would be in danger if he testifies in court.

The order of the High Court 2, Criminal Division granted permission to Anas Aremeyaw Anas to testify on camera in the case against Kwesi Nyantakyi.

But on appeal by lawyers of Nyantakyi, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the former football chief and asked Anas to appear in flesh to be cross-examined in open court by Nyantakyi.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court quashed the order of the High Court 2, Criminal Division granting permission to Anas Aremeyaw Anas to testify in camera in the case against Kwesi Nyantakyi.

By this decision of the Supreme Court Anas Amereyaw Anas must give evidence in open court.

Nyantakyi is fighting his case against the controversial journalist in a bid to clear his name.

The former Ghana FA capo is serving a global ban following the documentary.

Nyantakyi, who was rising to the very top of global football administration, had to step aside from his roles with Caf including as 1st vice-president, the most senior figure at the confederation after its former president, Ahmad.

Nyantakyi and other football officials from around the continent were secretly filmed by undercover reporters receiving cash gifts as part of a documentary by controversial Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
