Former Ghanaian professional boxer Michael Ayitey Okai, popularly known as Ayitey Powers, is breathing a sigh of relief after walking out of legal trouble. The outspoken sports personality faced intense legal scrutiny following an online video dispute involving the National Sports Authority. National Sports Authority Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah officially filed a complaint, leading to police action and a subsequent court appearance at the Dansoman Circuit Court.
The tension finally dissolved when the NSA boss chose to withdraw the case, allowing the courts to discharge the former fighter. Speaking to journalists right after regaining his freedom, Ayitey Powers noted that true believers must rely on divine providence during difficult trials. He emphasized that as a God-fearing individual, going through custody taught him priceless lessons about patience and self-control.
Supporters and fellow sports stakeholders have urged public figures to exercise caution when expressing grievances on social media platforms. Heated emotions can easily transform minor disagreements into complex legal battles that attract unnecessary attention from law enforcement. With this chapter firmly closed, the energetic boxer intends to channel his robust energy into more constructive pursuits moving forward.
