Former Black Stars Captain, Asamoah Gyan has described the judgement of the High Court for him to pay over GHc1 million to one Anthony Sarfo as “very awful.”
Asamoah Gyan also said the judgment does not make any sense and that he will appeal.
The High Court (Financial and Economic Decision) presided over by Justice Ernest Owusu Dapaa on Friday, December 8 in his judgment said, that Plaintiff discharged the burden of proof and held that the manager of Asamoah Gyan set the whole malicious prosecution in motion.
Consequently, the Court entered a judgment in the sum of GHc900,000 in damages to the Plaintiff.
The Court, additionally, awarded the plaintiff GHc111, 000 for 111 months that he lost from his job which was paying him GHc1, 000 at the time.
EIB Network’s Legal Affairs Correspondent, Murtala Inusah, reports that a cost of GHc60,000 was also awarded against Asamoah Gyan and his manager.
This brings the total sum to GHc1, 071, 000.
Reacting to the judgment in an interview with GHOne TV, Asamoah Gyan said “I will appeal cos (because) it doesn’t make sense,” and “There is no way I should lose that case.”
Asamoah Gyan also known as Baby Jet, shortly after the judgment said “I now heard the judge didn’t collect our evidence and everything.”
He added “There is a conspiracy somewhere. I will follow up this time.
The all-time leading goal scorer of the National team said, “That judgment was very awful.”
