Court orders IGP, AG to compensate ModernGhana editor with GH₵40k

The High Court in Accra has directed the National Security Coordinator, Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General to apologize and compensate the editor of ModernGhana.com, Emmanuel Ajarfor with an amount of GH₵40,000.

Emmanuel Ajarfor in 2019 sued the three state actors after he was arrested by armed National Security operatives for allegedly making publications against National Security Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah.

Mr Ajarfor at the time accused the national security of torture following the arrest and subsequently sued the three respondents for human rights abuse.

But after two years of trial, the parties reached a settlement agreement to dispose of the matter.
