The Court ruled in the senior journalist’s favour, giving Mr. Agyapong 30 days to retract and apologise three times on the platforms he used to defame the veteran journalist on. The court also awarded GHS100,000 damages instead and a cost of GH¢30,000.

Reacting to his Victory, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr said on Joy Fm Newsfile that he would donate the money to Charity.

You know I had a nickname Kweku Galamsey? There was no attempt to blackmail the president and there was no secret recording of Prez Akufo Addo by Anas. Ken simply lied. The money is not coming to me. Definitely, it’s going to charity. “ He said.
