Former Kwesi Nyantakyi has said the Accra High Court formally discharged him in his criminal case and has rejected claims that the Attorney General dropped the charges against him.

In a 14-point response dated January 14, 2026, Nyantakyi disputed a statement issued by Tiger Eye PI on January 6, which reacted to comments he made in an interview on JoyNews. He said the claims, if left unanswered, risk misleading the public about the outcome of the case.

Nyantakyi described Tiger Eye PI as having no formal role in the court proceedings and said its public commentary misrepresented what occurred in court. He stated that the suggestion that the Attorney General withdrew the charges against him was false.

According to Nyantakyi, the criminal case concluded with a discharge by the Accra High Court, following proceedings before the court. He maintained that this outcome is distinct from a withdrawal of charges by the Attorney General and that the difference is legally significant.

In his response, Nyantakyi said that under normal circumstances he would have ignored the statement from Tiger Eye PI, which he described as unnecessary interference in the matter. He said he chose to respond because, in his view, the statement sought to cast his name into disrepute and revive allegations that have followed him since

The former football administrator further accused Tiger Eye PI of persistently mischaracterising his legal situation and said its latest statement continued a pattern of public commentary that he believes is inaccurate.

Tiger Eye PI’s January 6 statement had suggested that the Attorney General of Ghana dropped the charges against Nyantakyi, a position he now firmly disputes. As of the time of reporting, Tiger Eye PI had not issued a further response to Nyantakyi’s January 14 statement.

Court records referenced by Nyantakyi have not been independently published with his response, and no fresh proceedings are currently before the court. There is also no indication that the Attorney General has reopened the matter.

Nyantakyi’s case stems from investigations and prosecutions that followed the 2018 football corruption exposé, which led to his resignation as president of the Ghana Football Association. The legal interpretation of how the case ended remains at the centre of the current dispute.

No court has made a new ruling on the matter since the discharge, and no fresh charges have been announced.
