A five-year legal battle has ended with the dismissal of charges against former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi in the infamous “Number 12” corruption case.

The Accra High Court dropped the charges due to the prosecution’s inability to present key witnesses, including journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who exposed the scandal. 

The case, which began in 2018, revealed Nyantakyi allegedly accepting $65,000 from undercover reporters. While Nyantakyi has been cleared in Ghana, his 15-year FIFA ban remains. This decision sparks debates about justice, corruption, and the challenges of prosecuting high-profile cases.
