'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.

Is this an attempt to silence Kennedy? No way. Mr Agyapong, we want to hear your side of the story. Anas operation, by implication, is calling his targets corrupt, criminals and what have you. Yet, he cant take it when someone calls him or set up to expose him of same attributes. Anas is feeling the heat.
I have noticed in recent times how Ghanaians have stood for the protection of the constitution by being truthful and bold enough to condemn the approach of Anas. At times i wonder for those who support him whether they truly understand fairness and justice. Anas cant use people as scape goats by entrapping them for his personal gains. His work is not genuine
The fact that you are well connected in the society doesn't guarantee you to be a lawless citizen mr Anas.You are guilty of corruption when you give out money as bribe to an official. why must you be exonerated when both sides are wrong?
I have always said the methodology of Anas is bad. How can you entrap people and later claim they are corrupt?I never knew Mr Anas also had a REPUTATION TO PROTECT! Ghanaians so i ask, have you seen how painful it is when someone like Anas makes you loose your job and your entitlements because of a set up! say no to ANAS METHODOLOGY (HARSH TAG)
I don't for see Ana's winning this case its also good to test or laws CU's in my opinion I see a lot mistakes in ANSA's video as to whether Hon.can also proves otherwise with his allegations is another matter for discussion I wish both plaintiff and defendant a well in their case.end of the day is Ghana who wins and history will be made.
THIS COURT THING WILL BRING THE DOWNFALL OF ANAS.THE PERSON WHO ADVICE HIM DIDN'T ADVICE HIM WELL.
WHY DID ANAS REFUSED TO SHOW THE PARLIAMENT UNDER COVER CORRUPT VIDEO. HE MUST ***barred word***. HOW CAN HE GO TO 12 NOT SHOWING THE 10 AND 11 VIDEOS. HE MUST GIVE US A BREAK.IS IS BECAUSE IT WAS NDC AND MAHAMAS TENURE.
