Justice Isaac Addo of the High Court in Accra has convicted and sentenced the Managing Editor of the Herald Newspaper, Larry Alan Dogbe, to seven days’ imprisonment for contempt of court.
The sentence is directly linked to the Herald’s publication of a report on the arrest of businessman Kevin Okyere in Dubai.
Dogbe’s conviction also comes in connection with the paper’s earlier report on a petition filed by Petraco SA, a global energy trading firm, involving Okyere. Kevin Okyere is a Ghanaian businessman with interests in the oil and gas sector.
The court found the publication contemptuous. Justice Isaac Addo handed down the seven-day custodial sentence during proceedings in Accra on Thursday, June 25, 2026.
Further details are expected as court records become available.
