The former Inspector General of Police, David- Asante-Apeatu has discontinued his case of defamation against Justice Kwaku Annan, the Net 2 TV presenter.
A notice issued on behalf of the former IGP by his Lawyers to the High Court-General Jurisdiction 8, said:”PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Plaintiff herein hereby discontinues his claim against the Defendant in the above-mentioned action with liberty.”
This comes after Justice Kwaku Annan, the Net 2 TV presenter dragged to court by the former IGP threatened the former IGP’s lawyer, Sammy Darko, stating that his days are numbered.
He[Defendant] was reacting to media reportage that lawyer Sammy Darko had prayed to the High Court-General Jurisdiction 8, presided over by Justice Ekow Baiden, to grant him a substituted service for a judgment in default of defence, but the judge asked him to slow down and follow further processes.
Background
There was drama in court on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, when lawyers for Asante-Apeatu, led by Sammy Darko, attempted to move an application on notice for judgment in default of defence.
The judge eventually told the former IGP’s lawyer that he is a small boy at the bar and that he should slow down.
Judge Ekow Baiden retorted, “You seem to be in a hurry to finish this case.”
