Kevin Taylor Trashes Loud-Mouthed Ken Agyapong In Unbiased US Court –In Defamation Case

US-based Ghanaian journalist, Kevin Taylor, reported on Thursday that he had won a defamation suit brought against him by the controversial Kennedy Agyapong, the Assin Central Member of Parliament for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Breaking the news on his Loud Silence Media platform, “With All Due Respect,” Mr. Taylor said the Virginia District Court dismissed the suit on 23rd March 2022.

However, the plaintiff has been given 60 days to appeal against the ruling if he is dissatisfied with the ruling.

According to him, the court dismissed the suit after the Assin North MP amended his initial suit seeking some 9 million dollars damages against Kelvin Taylor.

District Judge, Hon. Liam O’Grady, told Kennedy Agyapong that he and his lawyers failed to demonstrate that Kevin Taylor’s allegation that Agyapong was suspect in the murder of an investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussein Suale, negatively affected him as he had claimed.

That means Kennedy Agyapong and his lawyers couldn’t show any evidence to the effect that the actions of Kevin Taylor actually affected him physically and psychologically, as well as to his reputation.

Basically, the judge was unequivocal that he did not believe Ken Agyapong’s fantastic claims that he had been so negatively affected by the publication of the allegation

Last year, Kennedy Agyapong sued Kevin Taylor following an allegation published by Mr. Taylor to the effect that the NPP MP was responsible for the killing of Ahmed Suale.

He published videos on YouTube in which Kennedy asked people to attack the journalist and get paid. Kennedy Agyapong told the court that he is a public figure and the statement from Kelvin caused irreparable damage to his reputation.

Since news of the dismissal came through, many Ghanaians have been saying that Kevin Taylor was lucky he had been sued in the US and that if he had been sued in Ghana, where judges are known to be politically motivated and extremely corrupt, Mr. Taylor would have been pronounced guilty by a unanimous decision.
