Supreme Court Nullifies Arrest Warrant Against Kevin Taylor

The Supreme Court has quashed a bench warrant issued against US-based Ghanaian journalist Kevin Taylor in a 4-1 majority decision.

The warrant, issued in January 2020 by Justice Eric Kyei Baffour, was declared null and void following a legal challenged.

The arrest warrant was issued after Taylor circulated a video on Facebook deemed offensive and injurious to the administration of justice.

Taylor had accused Justice Kyei-Baffour of being elevated to the Court of Appeal as a reward for allegedly doing the government’s bidding in a trial.

The Supreme Court’s decision marks a significant legal victory for Taylor, who maintained that the warrant was unjust.

The ruling reaffirms the principle of due process and brings an end to the years-long controversy surrounding the arrest order.
