Free Press: The lid has now been blown off - Libya pays 327,000 pounds for Tsikata's libel suit?

At long last the lid has been blown off as to who paid for Capt. Kojo Tsikata's one billion cedis libel suit against a London newspaper, "The Independent". Whereas the NDC government would want Ghanaians to believe that the cost of Tsikata's libel suit was borne by his friends, notably, Kojo Amoo-Gottfried and others, reports doing the rounds in UK, point to the contrary.

"The Daily Telegraph" of December 12, 1997, reports that it was the Libyan government which paid for Tsikata's libel suit against the Independent of London.
