Ghanaian medical entrepreneur Dr. William Anarfi Sarpong has filed a GHS20 million defamation lawsuit against US-based journalist Kevin Taylor and his media outlet, Loud Silence Media.
The lawsuit stems from alleged defamatory statements made by Taylor during a Facebook Live broadcast between February 26 and 28, 2025.
Filed at the High Court of Justice in Accra, the lawsuit claims that Taylor made “false and damaging” accusations against Dr. Anarfi, including allegations of fraudulent activities and improper dealings with the Ghanaian government.
Court documents further state that Taylor publicly displayed images and personal details of Dr. Anarfi’s family members, intensifying concerns over privacy violations.
Dr. Anarfi, who owns Spintex Medical Center, has strongly denied the claims. His legal team, Gomdah & Associates, described the statements as “malicious fabrications intended to tarnish Dr. Anarfi’s reputation.” The court has ordered Kevin Taylor and Loud Silence Media to respond to the writ within eight days or risk a default judgment.
This case underscores the growing tensions between prominent Ghanaian figures and digital media personalities, particularly regarding the impact of unverified online commentary.
As of now, neither Kevin Taylor nor his representatives have publicly responded to the lawsuit.
