Supreme Court orders Anas to appear in court without mask over Kwesi Nyantakyi’s case.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas has suffered a setback as the Supreme Court of Ghana required the journalist to appear in open court without his customary face mask in order to face Kwesi Nyantakyi.
The highest court in Ghana ruled on Tuesday morning that the reluctant journalist must testify in the case involving the former Ghana FA President in court without wearing a facial mask.
Anas, who has been incredibly reluctant to even show up in court, let alone without his mask, will now be seen by the public as he gives a testimony in front of the judge.

This comes after the Supreme Court overturned a previous decision by a lower court allowing Anas to testify in secret.
The journalist, whose investigation led to Nyantakyi resigning several football posts, claimed his life would be in danger if he testifies in court.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas was permitted to give videotaped testimony in the case involving Kwesi Nyantakyi by an order of the High Court, Criminal Division.
However, following an appeal by Nyantakyi’s attorneys, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the former head of football and ordered Anas to appear in person so Nyantakyi could cross-examine him in public.
The Supreme Court has decided that Anas Amereyaw Anas must testify in public.
In an effort to clear his identity, Nyantakyi is pursuing his lawsuit against the contentious journalist.

Following the documentary, the former Ghana FA president is currently facing a worldwide suspension.
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.
