The Dansoman Circuit Court has dropped the case against former Ghanaian boxer Ayitey Powers, who was accused of making a death threat against the National Sports Authority (NSA) Director-General, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah. The court's decision on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, resulted in Ayitey Powers being released after he had been held in remand for nearly a week.

The Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee had requested his arrest and prosecution over the perceived comments. The reasons behind the court's choice to discontinue the case were not immediately disclosed.
