Kweku Baako’s credibility hit a new low as his LIES over the role of the BBC in a recent football investigation has triggered an angry backlash from Ghanaians who feel deceived by his claims.
Angry Ghanaians have taken to social media to hit out at the Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide for making false claims that the BBC worked with Anas Aremeyaw Anas over the contentious investigation.
Baako was exposed by the British broadcaster on Monday after they debunked his claims that they collaborated with the controversial journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas over the investigation.
Prior to Anas’ release on the investigation termed No 12, his key men in the investigation - Kweku Baako and Randy Abbey LIED to the public about the role of the BBC.
Anas’ key allies Baako and Abbey had also publicly stated in various radio interviews that the BBC played a key role in the work that has received mixed reaction.
Baako, claimed that the latest investigative piece by his protégé, Anas was a collaboration between the Tiger Eye PI and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
He extended his fabrications when he said the BBC was angered by President Nana Akufo-Addo’s decision to take the pre-emptive strike by asking the CID to investigate Kwesi Nyantakyi over his claims on the tape.
“Even If I had no remote connection to Anas or BBC, I still will feel it as a person, it hurts. But that doesn’t not mean that you cover up what appears to be a transgression or an infraction,” Baako said last month.
“This project, again, is not exclusively Tiger Eye PI project, it is a joint Tiger Eye-BBC project.”
But these claims were rubbished by BBC on Monday as the global broadcaster denied his claims that they collaborated with Anas, damaging credibility.
With pressure mounting on the BBC over the methods used and growing legal challenges against Anas and possibly the British global broadcaster, the media firm is now running away from the controversy and the growing scandals surrounding the methods used by Anas.
“Contrary to any reports or rumours you may have heard or seen prior to publication stating ‘Number 12’ was a product of a collaborative work by the BBC and the journalist (Anas Aremeyaw Anas) this was not the case,” the BBC said in a statement on Monday.
“The BBC documentary, ‘Betraying the Game”, broadcast after “Number 12” was first put into the public domain, was an independent and impartial work and a report about Mr. Anas’ investigation.
“The BBC played no part whatsoever in his investigation and has never sought to suggest otherwise.
“Mr Anas is not a BBC journalist, we did not work with him during his investigation or commission him to carry out this investigation.”
With the BBC fully clarifying that they played no role by participating or commissioning the investigation contrary to Baako’s claims, Ghanaians have taken to social media to lambast the journalist.
This shows clearly that Anas’ friends lied about the role of the BBC dealing another blow to the credibility of the controversial journalist who has already been condemned in several quarters.
A documentary by a Member of Parliament in Ghana has been released on Anas titled ‘Who Watches the Watchman’ claiming to show that he took bribes from people. He has denied the claim.

This is a bla.tan.t lie. Sometimes people speak as is the listening populace are all fo.ols. If the BBC initiates a joint project, MR Kwaku Baako, you mean neither your, Crusading Guide, Tiger Eye, and Anas Lawyers will receive a formal letter with subject clearly stating something relating to a joint project? We know Anas spent over $200,000 for No. 12, who funded him? Can you answer this without presuming, and who has been funding him all these years? I think Ken.Agyapong is on to something. To think of it, why was K.Nyantakyi zoomed in on? I am not defending his misjudgements, but why was he the only FA President the investigations focused on, Why didn't Tiger Eve PI no go after all the FA Presidents in Africa, and the timing of the release, why not after the World Cup? Infact, BBC should sue the pants of KBaako for presuming former employees of the BBC contacting him means its a joint venture between Tiger Eye and BBC. I mean lets be serious. I have always said I wonder why people listen to KBaako to begin with, and that program NewsFile, I just don't get it. Presumed BBC, presumed the British Broadcasting Corporation, presumed, presumed, presumed? To think of it, does it make sense to you, KBaako to say after all that has happened, Opare audio, you still support Charlotte, unbelievable. Well I presume you are full of sh.i.t.,..... no further comment.
I HAVE STOPPED LISTENING TO NEWSFILE. I USED TO LISTEN TO NEWSFILE BECAUSE OF KWEKU BAAKO. LOOK, HE IS ALSO GOING TO COURT SIMPLY BECAUSE CHARLOTTE OSEI IS HIS RELATIVE. HOW CAN A FAIR MINDED AND OBJECTIVE PERSON BEHAVE LIKE THIS. KWEKU AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
Oh Kwaku, you see your real size?
Ghanaians are smarter than people think.Anas catch the corrupt people for us by lawful means and those who think Anas is corrupt should also catch him by lawful means.we need to catch corrupt people with evidence so Anas n his likes are important to humanity.
KWAKU BAAKO YOU SEE YOUR LIFE?YOU HAVE BEEN DEFENDING A ***barred word*** LIKE ANAS.
