Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has reacted to his recent $18 million defamation lawsuit victory against Kennedy Agyapong in the Essex County Superior Court in New Jersey.



In a statement following the ruling, Anas described the verdict as a win for truth and accountability.



“This decision is not merely a legal triumph—it is a resounding affirmation that falsehood and character assassination have no place in our society,” he stated.



Comparing the outcome to his unsuccessful defamation case in Ghana in 2018, Anas emphasized that justice was served when due process was followed.



“Despite Mr. Agyapong’s own admission of lacking evidence, Justice Eric Baah denied me justice and even portrayed me—the plaintiff—as a criminal,” he recalled.



He credited the fairness of the U.S. legal system for his victory, pointing out that Agyapong presented the same ‘Who Watches the Watchman’ evidence used in Ghana but still lost unanimously.



“This outcome proves that the truth prevails and that accountability must extend to everyone, regardless of their position or influence,” he asserted.



Anas also issued a stern warning to politicians, reminding them of the critical role of the media in democracy.



“You cannot take the media for granted. The press plays an indispensable role in scrutinizing power and holding leaders accountable,” he said.



He concluded by thanking his legal team and supporters, vowing to continue his fight against corruption.
