Court acquits Ataa Ayi's mechanic

On June 5, 2025, a significant turning point occurred when Ataa Ayi's former mechanic Yaw Asante Agyekum was finally released from prison after the Court of Appeal in Accra acquitted and discharged him.

Wrongfully convicted as an accomplice to Ataa Ayi in 2002, Yaw had endured 23 years of a 35-year sentence for conspiracy to commit robbery, suffering through trials without legal representation.

Throughout his long imprisonment, he steadfastly maintained his innocence, ultimately securing a lawyer who successfully appealed his conviction.

The Appeals Court ruled in his favour, allowing him to reunite with his daughter, who was merely a month old when he was first arrested, a bittersweet end to a long and arduous journey towards justice and reconciliation.
