Investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas has challenged critics suggesting that he is corrupt and has been ‘bought’ by several people to drop cases to provide evidence to back their claims. For him, it is quite irrational to suggest anyone has been bought when no form of evidence is provided to support the claims.
“Bought as in doing what…I mean it doesn’t make sense,” he told an Accra based Joy FM in an interview Thursday morning.
Following the release of the Ace investigative journalists' number twelve exposé, he has come under attacks from persons who have accused him of unprofessionalism and corruption.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, is claiming that Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a video in his possession dubbed 'Who watches over the watchman' is seen telling an accused person in a criminal case that he will be paying lawyer Egbert Faibille to drop a criminal case.
According to Anas, claims from the camp of Kennedy Agyapong that he had taken money to quash a story is neither here nor there.
“In the last few days, I have been called a murderer, that I have murdered JB Danquah. In fact, recently I heard that I had even called the BNI and they had even opened the place for me and I had gone to tell (JB Danquah’s) murderer that he should mention some people’s name in the murder” he said.
“Look all those who say they have evidence that I say I’ve been bought…why, senior people in the country…this is a high profile murder case, you have evidence, let them take this evidence to the police. I think by now we should have been invited,” he added.
Anas noted that it is also in his interest that “we find a solution to the murder. I’ve been accused of extortion all because of number 12.”
He stated that persons whose names were mentioned in the said ‘who watches the watchman’ video will emerge and speak so the truth will be evident.
“Not even one of this accusations will stand. It will come out as falsehood deliberately aimed at tarnishing my image so that people will not believe what I say. But let me tell you this; no matter what they do, no matter the attempts on my life, I will survive this, I will stand the test of time, I will encourage more young people. If you take Anas today, there will be another Anas tomorrow,” he stressed.

Anas, what did you mean by'they buy me $100,000'. Also, in the video, we heard you loud and clear saying that "I have given $75,000 to the director of CID, Adu Poku and I have transferred $5,000 into your account" Is that not proof that something untoward was going on? Anas, what evidence else do you want as proof. Some of us are not nit wits and empty and decipher situations intelligently.
IS HAFIS EVIDENCE NO PROVEN IT ?
Anas is crook, what Ken Agyarpong is showing are the same to that of anas...
@Moi a person who does a recording will not see himself in it.Somebody did the recording. if he was doing it as a part his investigative journalism then the question is, was he trapping the state prosecutor?.If yes was the state prosecutor charged?.This some of the questions we should ask.Secondly the money he uses to give to his victims who gives him the money.Where did he get the $65,000 dollars to Nyantakyi.?
He recorded the said video himself ooooo room!!! It was all part of him retrieving information!! Have you guys ever heard of sting operations? How do you get a crook if you don't play along? Anaa was just doing his work and he did it perfectly. Ghanaians must stop being corrupt or risk an expose by Anas.
WE SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHERE THIS IS ALL ENDING.... KEN IS INDEED IN A MESS AND THAT TIME TO SEE IS DRAWING NEAR..
It looks like Ken has a long way to go. he is alone but the cabal led by Kweku Baako, Kwame Sefa Kayi, Randy Abbey and Kwesi Pratt is looking strong. I am really enjoying this fight. if u have no personal interest in this issue then i will advise u to be neutral and listen to both sides. obviously one party is lying. u cant tell who is saying the truth if u have already taking side. this is the main problem we have in this country. we are too sentimental and these ple knows it. so everyone is looking for their supporters. but as for me i will continue to remain neutral and use my common sense to read between the lines of what both parties are saying. soon we will all know the truth.
Anas, I am all for you. I dont understand Ken Agyapong. He does not have any case. ONLY CORRUPT PEOPLE IN GHANA HAVE ISSUES WITH YOU. If you are not corrupt why should you fear Anas. Like I always say, an average Ghanain is corrupt!! The country stinks like $hithole.
what is this cr1m1nal talking abt. we all saw and heard u confirming that you have been bought. and that u shd find a way to twist the evidence. in any case, tahnk you for confirming that was u in the video. we know u now. thats all that is important.
You have been exposing people all these while. Some who couldn't stand it have died. Others have lost their jobs while some their integrity is gone forever beyond repairs. Yet, the only piece issued by agyapong is making you sing like the canary bird. Huh! Eyes are watching now.
