evin Ekow Baidoo Taylor, host of With All Due Respect on Loud Silence TV, was the subject of an arrest warrant due to a high-profile case involving Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie, the brother of Ghana’s Acting Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.
Following Taylor’s Facebook video post, Justice Eric Kyei-Baffour, a Court of Appeal judge serving as an additional High Court judge, issued the warrant on January 16, 2020.
In the video, titled “The Men in Red, Tainted Judiciary”, Taylor made serious accusations against Justice Kyei-Baffour.
“Today I will tell you about the men in red, yes, the men in red, and how some of them have been compromised,” Taylor said. He claimed that Kyei-Baffour’s promotion from the High Court to the Court of Appeal was part of a plot to serve government interests.
Taylor further charged that Kyei-Baffour was chosen by members of the then-ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to attack officials from the former National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
He further claimed that in the case against Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie, the judge had misapplied the law in favor of the NPP government. Justice Kyei-Baffour responded by declaring that Taylor’s video was an attempt to provoke public anger against him and the court as well as an assault on the judiciary.
Taylor’s comments were deemed “scandalous” by the judge, who also issued an arrest warrant requiring him to appear in court and defend his innocence.
The warrant instructed the Ghana Police Service, the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), which is now the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), the Inspector General of Police (IGP), and National Security to “take appropriate steps for the apprehension and production of the said Kevin Taylor before the court.”
Unexpectedly, on July 22, 2025, the Ghanaian Supreme Court ruled 4-1 to revoke the arrest order. The warrant was revoked by the panel, which was led by Justice Imoro Amadu Tanko and included Justices Senyo Dzamefe, Gbiel Simon Suurbaareh, and Philip Bright Mensah. Ernest Gaewu, a justice, dissented.
On July 2, 2025, Taylor submitted an application, claiming that the High Court had not granted him a reasonable chance to reply prior to issuing the warrant.
Following the decision, Taylor and his attorneys were spotted leaving the courtroom, clearly happy with the result.
