Kwame Karikari, don't let your prejudice cloud your judgement! Why not address the silly question Kenu effused at the Djans' first? Besides all his stupidity, Kenu claimed he could have "dismantled" Baffour Djan, yet his dignity has been bought by a token fee!

What is prejudicial about what Mr Karikari had to say? Should brainless imbecile thugs like the Gyans be allowed to pounce on anybody who asks a question they find offensive? It is sad that Kenu withdrew charges for whatever reason. Damn his conscience, a crime has been committed and the judge should also have allowed the law to take its course. What if Kenu or any victim that might be also had a gun and shot and killed those imbeciles calling themselves "macho men". They are actually "pussies" which is why they are always in a group

Kwmae, I think he really doesn't understand the word "prejudice" thus leave him alone. Agyeman is living in his own world. He only see things that he wanna see to make him feel good and happy. He hates and strongly abhors to anything contrary to his views and opinions. Professor Karikari is an experienced elderly man who has insight, knowledge, academic, vision, skills, and wisdom to say his views. However if Agyeman thinks this credible professor is wrong, it's up to him (Agyeman). It's his own cup of tea. Wisdom is not the same just as knowledge differs from one person to another.

Agyeman, let to write without casting insulting slurs to others. Can't you write or talk in decorum and make your actions be devoid of attacks and insults? Honesly, the question posed by Kenu was and it's still a good and legitimate one. You have your right to say it is not a fair question but in journalism code of ethics, such a questions is vital, essential, meaningful, thoughtful, and wholly acceptable. This is not any serious or difficult question which should anger Asamoah Gyan or his brother or his family and pals. Let me tell you this: Over here in the U.S, there is the same allegation and speculations that Asamoah Gyan uses 'voodoo/juju to play ball and that's why he always goes to Ada beach with his friends anytime he returns from world cup tournament. This same allegation is sreading in Europe, Asia, Africa and all over the world so I think it was proper for him to have thanked God that Kenu wanted him to use such glorious platform to redeem himself with a clear cut wise explanations than having resulted to such antiquated temperamental ethics. It was too shameful. If Asamoag Gyan does not stop his uncouth way of doing things in Ghana and does not run fast to God for help, his football career could too soon come to an end abruptly. He is misbehaving too much but because of his fame and Status as Black Stars captain, he is having a field day. I tell you what, if this case had happened in U.S or where is playing in U.A.E, he would have been arrested by the police for questioning but in Ghana, once you are rich or are famous, you can even kill and walk a free man. That's the type of sinful nation we have at hand.

All the people here insulting Kenu, let me ask you a question. Kenu says the stress of case makes his blood pressure to go up which endangers his health. If he was to pursue the case regardless of his health and suffer a stroke or heart attack as a result of the hypertension, leaving him handicapped and dependent for life, will Kwame Karikari, the GJA and all those crying foul, be prepared to take care of Kenu and his dependents for the rest of Kenu's life? If you can't answer "yes" to this, then please SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. It was not you that got beaten up.

My brother, unless you don't have a good soul or spirit to give you sound ideas to know that he has received sinful money, you would keep on arguing unnecessary. Shame on Daniel Kenu.

Is that what the law in Ghana stipulates? That an individual can decide to discontinue a criminal case? So if somebody kills my child, I can decide due to my Christian belief to forgive and tell the state not to prosecute the person who killed my child because the one is rich and willing to offer me monetary compensation?

If that is the law in Ghana, then it is an antiquated law that should not exist in any civilized society. Was the case filed as KENU vs BAFFOUR GYAN? Criminal cases are filed as the state vs the culprit because the law sees the culprit as haven committed the crime against the state and that is why criminal cases are filed as GHANA vs the culprit, in this case, GHANA vs BAFFOUR GYAN.

Mr Kenu has every right to refuse to testify but you have witnesses and the medical report to continue this case and prosecute Baffour Gyan and his Macho men security detail. Ghana is a banana republic indeed.

Mr Kenu deserves good ass kicking.
Its not punches from Keta School boys from the Volta with a Voodoo Priest.
Next time he will ask for Fidel not Castro.

People would keep on beating them because our society know that Ghanaian journalists are corrupt, indecisive, womanizers, and liars.

If we say Ghanaian journalists practice "noko fioo" journalism and are just hungry wolves, people think it's a joke. This is a clear demonstration that with few dollars, it's so easy to purchase the rights of the Ghanaian journalist to freedom of work. Go on, take the bribe and turn your pens on the politician the next minute. Ako Vanderpuye, ayekooooo. Slap the dogs and find them some few coins from the kayayei

This Kenu guy is so cheap and fake. This depicts how unreliable and unneutral our press is. No wonder the press are always subjected to brutalities. They don't exhibit any respect for themselves.

I dont like the way Kenu also attack the player with the missing of Castro. Kenu must allow Gyan to finish with his pupose in playing the match before. Kenu's action can also disturb the player's performance. Media men must be careful how they do their jobs. It isnt Kenu's duty to interrogate Gyan or any player at that moment of critical decision with the Black Stars. Kenu was wrong doing so. But Gyan's brother too err assaulting Kenu. They must both apologise to Ghanaians for wasting our time reading their news.

It is very sad to hear or read such cases.A journalist who should have known his right better to behave like that.Normally this a case for the Journalists Association of Ghana ,and not as a private matter,because it can happen to any journalist in the country.Do journalists really know what democracy is?,am sorry to say that, journalists themselves to be blamed for the situation and also the catastrophic injustice,corruption,disorder etc etc in the coutry.

Karikari, I totally disagree with you..Kenu wanted money at all cost from Gyan and he has got it so who is the thug?.I am surprised that you are not aware that most of these so called Journalists harass people for no good reason in order to get money from them. Infact, Kenu kept on harassing Gyan for money and he has got it..You speak to PR of institutions and prominent members of our society and they tell that most of these Journalist blackmail people for a living.Its all a very dirty game.
