Ace Ghanaian Investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has Friday dawn a ‘hot’ expose` on Coronavirus pandemic in Ghana.
The investigative Journalist has once again gone undercover to unravel “the Corona quacks and thieves” looting Ghana from the Coronavirus resources to enrich themselves.
“Are you ready? It’s coming, the corona quacks and thieves in Ghana. It would be served hot on -BBC Africa Eye,
All major stations in Ghana” Anas posted on his Facebook timeline Friday dawn.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an undercover journalist, a Lawyer, and a private detective working in Ghana and across the African continent.
In disguise, he has investigated many ills and evils in Ghana and other African Countries where he methodically gathers evidence for hard-hitting stories.
The current investigative piece announced by Anas is the latest after the one on galamsey which led to a series of attacks by officials of the ruling party- the New Patriotic Party.
On the 6th of May 2018, Anas released Number 12, so named because corruption was the “12th player on the football team”. This exposé implicated almost the entire football administration in Ghana and resulted in the President of Ghana dissolving the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The then GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was also an executive member of FIFA, was filmed by Anas accepting a bribe. He was later banned for life by FIFA.
International referees were also involved, such as Kenyan FIFA referee Marwa Range. He was filmed receiving US$600 before a previous game from Anas’s investigative team posing as top Ghanaian football executives, leading to Marwa’s withdrawal from the World Cup. A week before the 2018 FIFA World Cup was due to start, the BBC released the documentary. In the weeks following, other figures such as Super Eagles Coach Salisu Yusuf were found to be involved in the scandal.
Two years prior, Anas went undercover for two years to expose a total of 34 judges engaged in corruption-related activities. These judges and over 105 judicial staff were caught on camera receiving bribes to influence the judgment in Ghana’s courts.
Anas have come under threat in recent years in Ghana after his major expose` of government officials of the NPP in acts of corruption.
One of his lead investigators Amed Suale was murdered by some unknown assailants near his house at Madina in Accra on January 16, 2019.
No arrest has since been made as investigators have not made any headway.
