Samson Lardy Anyenini is a private legal practitioner
Private legal practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini, has urged the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to ensure that US-based Ghanaian journalist Kevin Taylor is arrested whenever he comes to the country.
Reports and trending images indicate that Taylor arrived in Ghana from the United States in late February 2025.
However, despite multiple court orders for his arrest, no arrest was made upon his arrival in Ghana, prompting Anyenini to call on the NDC government.
Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday, March 1, 2025, Anyenini expressed outrage that Taylor remains free despite the outstanding arrest warrants and cautioned the NDC that failing to arrest him would be detrimental to the country’s interests.
“I think the NDC would do a disservice to this country if that guy steps his foot into this country and he’s allowed to leave without the execution of the bench warrant against him. He has defamed numerous people—Ace Ankomah, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko—they have all secured judgments against him. But because he thinks he’s outside the country he can get away with it. That shouldn’t be right,” he said.
Talking about the spread of false and fake stories by the media and its practitioners, Anyenini further called on the government to find an approach to curb these instances.
“Those cowards are hiding under the internet and committing criminal stuff in the name of doing broadcast. All they do every day is insult. Churning out a lot of falsehood and we can’t seem to hold them to account, this country can do better than that,” he added.
