  "account": "Michael Ayitey Okai, widely known as Ayitey Powers, a former Ghanaian boxer, has been released by the Dansoman Circuit Court after charges of threatening to shoot the National Sports Authority (NSA) Director-General, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, were dropped. Powers was facing legal action after a video surfaced online, where he threatened Mr. Ankrah due to disputes over the cancellation of boxing events, which Powers claimed caused him financial losses. He initially pleaded not guilty and was placed in custody while his trial was pending. The court discharged Ayitey Powers on Tuesday following the withdrawal of the case by NSA boss Ankrah. Speaking after his release, an emotional Ayitey Powers expressed his gratitude towards the court and publicly apologized for his conduct, stating that his time in custody had strengthened his faith and taught him valuable lessons. He emphasized that as a God-fearing person, one should always trust in God when faced with adversity. Powers has vowed to concentrate on his boxing promotions and to refrain from engaging in further public disputes.",
