Former Ghanaian boxer Michael Ayitey Okai, also known as Ayitey Powers, has been released from custody after a court in the Dansoman Circuit discontinued the death threat case against him. Ayitey Powers appeared before the court on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, after being held in jail for a week in connection with the issue. He was apprehended by the Accra Regional Police on Monday, August 24, following the dissemination of a video on social media where he allegedly made a threat against the life of National Sports Authority (NSA) Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah.
His arrest followed a call from the Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee (GBIMC) to arrest and prosecute Ayitey Powers for the reported remarks. However, the court has now ended the legal proceedings, leading to Ayitey Powers' release. This development concludes the ongoing legal proceedings sparked by the video, which caused considerable controversy within Ghana’s boxing community.
Ayitey Powers, a former professional boxer who represented Ghana during his career, remains a well-known figure in the country’s boxing fraternity.
