'Corrupt' Anas?
It will be recalled that in the lead-up to the premiere of Anas' #Number12: ‘When Greed and Corruption Become the Norm' exposé on Ghana football on last Wedesday, June 6th, Ken Agyapong descended heavily and criticized the investigative journalist on media platforms belonging to him as well as others and accusing him of alleged corrupt acts in his operations.
He strongly held the view that Anas’ method of investigation is wrong because he lures his victims into a trap.
He also accused Anas of being corrupt and even vowed to unmask Anas and has even shared some photos of a man he claimed is Anas.
To him, Anas sets his victims up to take bribes with the aim to destroy their reputation.

Fellow People, What Anas and their Lawyers are doing is damage control. Trying to control the damage his image has suffered due to the revelations by Ken the Champion.So that people you rethink Kennedy is lying and the reason Anas is bold to sue. The fact that you sue does not mean the other side is wrong. I remember Wayome and his group also started the same way when Ken revealed their evil stealing. Ibrahim Mahama did same on Radio and all ended nothing. Anas knew such court case will take years, talking about 7-10years. Its too late Anas, Ghana knows the kind of person you are now. I feel sorry for Kweku Baako. Kofi-Cape Coast
Anas is a scammer.how can you scam the GFA boss with some unknown rich Dubai people?
Anas has lost credibility. So i ask, why didnt Anas show his number 12 on GTV? if you claim to fight corruption, why do you charge money for people to watch the video. DISGRACEFUL HUMAN BEING.
This uselessssss and foolishhhhhh sues
ANAS WHY DON'T YOU SUE HAFIZ FOR DEFAMATION?
Well done Anas! this is exactly what i have been waiting for. Let The so called rich man come and prove his case. He always claim he has information/documents I believe he goes to ask for the information from his victims and they give them out willingly.
Kennedy Agyapong should come back from China immediately and show his tape to the good people of Ghana before the court restricts him from showing the tape
Surprise Kotoko, Hearts and the other teams are quiet when they have been defamed with this expose. Did Anas get the consent of Hearts before going to pay bribe on their behalf? Who watches the watchman?
You have done great job as an undercover investigative journalist, bringing supposedly good people down to their knees, even some committing suicide by exposing their neferous acts. And Anas can't take what he deemed to be defamation? Don't allow yourself, Anas, to be cowered into stuffs that will derail your good work. Rethink some of these actions you take to the court.
Yes, this is just the beggining. After this Anas should sue him for $ 100 million for libel for alleging that Anas has a hand in the killing of JB Danquah. I pray that the judge will grant all the demand by Anas to cut Ken Agyapong to size. All his grug monies should be retrived from him through this process.
