Ghanaian social media sensation and staunch NDC supporter Appiah Stadium has commended US-based journalist Kevin Taylor.

He praised the detailed coverage of the legal battle between investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong.

According to Appiah Stadium, Kevin Taylor’s reports ensured that Ghanaians received accurate information about the case. He argued that without Taylor’s work, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would have controlled the narrative, misrepresenting the facts.

He also pointed out how the case exposed flaws in Ghana’s judiciary. While an Accra High Court dismissed Anas' case, a US court ruled in his favour, awarding him $18- million in damages against Agyapong.

The lawsuit stemmed from remarks the politician made in 2021 during an interview on The Daddy Fred Show, where he accused Anas of criminal activities, including involvement in the death of journalist Ahmed Suale.

Anas, who has chalked fame and respect in Ghana for his anonymous undercover journalism, argued that the allegations harmed his reputation and put his life at risk.

Anas first filed the suit in Ghana, but the court ruled against him, with Justice Eric Baah allegedly labelling him a criminal.

He then took the case to the US, where the Essex County Superior Court in New Jersey ruled in his favour. Kennedy later appealed for a reduction in the damages, but the court denied his request.
