Ghanaian entrepreneur sues Kevin Taylor for GH¢20m over defamation 

Ghanaian medical entrepreneur Dr. William Anarfi Sarpong has filed a defamation lawsuit. He is suing US-based journalist Kevin Taylor and his outlet, Loud Silence Media, for GH¢1 million.

The lawsuit stems from allegations made by Taylor during a Facebook Live broadcast. This broadcast occurred between February 26 and 28, 2025.

Dr. Anarfi's lawsuit was filed at the High Court of Justice in Accra. It claims that Taylor made “false and damaging” statements about him in several online broadcasts.

Court documents detail accusations of fraudulent activities and improper dealings with the Ghanaian government. Dr. Anarfi, who owns Spintex Medical Center, denies these allegations.

His legal team, Gomdah & Associates, called Taylor’s remarks “malicious fabrications.” They claim these statements aim to tarnish Dr. Anarfi’s reputation.

The lawsuit also states that Taylor exposed Dr. Anarfi’s family members by sharing their images and personal details publicly.

The court has ordered Kevin Taylor and Loud Silence Media to respond within eight days. Failure to do so may result in a default judgment against them.

This case highlights tensions between prominent Ghanaians and digital media personalities. There are growing concerns about the impact of unverified online commentary.

As of now, neither Kevin Taylor nor his representatives have publicly responded to the lawsuit.
