Addressing journalists, Agyapong expressed joy over the mammoth welcome and love shown on his return to Ghana.
"I use this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful welcome that you have given to me and my wife. Thank you very much. This would inspire me to continue to do whatever I am doing," he told the crowd.
US court jury rules in Anas' favour
The jury of the Essex County Superior Court in New Jersey in March ruled in favour of Anas, awarding $18 million in damages against the former Assin Central MP.
Agyapong sought a remittitur after the judgement, which is a court order that reduces an excessive jury verdict or damage award.
This comes after Anas filed a defamation suit against the ex-lawmaker in 2022 following unkind remarks the latter made in an interview on The Daddy Fred Show in September 2021.

During that interview, Agyapong labelled Anas a criminal and a thief.
He further alleged that the investigator was responsible for the murder of fellow journalist Ahmed Suale and the deaths of multiple Chinese nationals in Ghana.
