An Accra circuit high court has set October 11, 2018, to pass a ruling in a GHC 25,000,000 suit filed by Ace Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas against the controversial lawmaker for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Agyapong.
The case was adjourned yesterday because the lawyer for the defendant told the court they had not been served with the supplementary affidavit and they needed more time to address the averment in the said supplementary affidavit.

The court presided by Justice Daniel Mensah subsequently granted their request.
On Tuesday, July 31, 2018, when the case was called according to our source, Lawyers for the member of parliament for Assin Central Hon. Kennedy Agyapong argued as stated in their application for the suit to be dismissed for lack of merit.
Counsel for the plaintiff in reaction claimed their application is not only an “abuse of the court” but an “abuse of the judge and his person” as well on the basis their application is “shocking, unimaginable and alien” to our judicial system.
“To the extent that per their application they seek to determine where Anas lives by questioning his address is amazingly unheard of”, he noted

He further argued that the defendant and his lawyers should simply have gone to the General Legal Council and enquired from the lawyer’s roll call to see if there is a lawyer in Ghana called Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
“Who in this world does not know that there is an Anas Aremeyaw Anas who is an internationally acclaimed undercover investigative journalist”, he asked
