When did Anas lose his edge in the investigation

After being accused of extortion by the MP for Assin Central, the Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, in a historic defamation case, Anas Aremeyaw Anas pushed himself to clear his name in court.Although he was the plaintiff, Anas met his demise in court. In a case where the plaintiff was more or less pleading with the court for damages, the presiding judge's summary quite drastically swung against Anas. Anas' reputation in the journalistic industry was summed up by the sitting court as "Investigative Terrorist and not Investigative Journalist."

Ameyaw Anas Ghanaian journalist Anas has a strong track record in investigative reporting. His Tiger Eye Company's investigative division was founded and praised after uncovering numerous problems, particularly in numerous Ghanaian public agencies. With incredibly reliable undercover investigations, The Tiger Eye PI has also delved into international nations. With almost 20 years of experience in investigative journalism, Anas and his crew have shown skill even while disguising themselves to complete the assignment. To avoid his targets, he may pretend to be a woman investor wearing high heels, matching lipstick, and sunglasses.


He once pretended to be a janitor in a brothel to gain support for his inquiries. When he uncovered a doctor who slept with his patients before treating them, it was one of his investigative high points. And on many of these risky missions, Anas was successful. The most clever of all of it may have been when he went nuts in order to get around a significant undercover story he was investigating. It should come as no surprise that Anas was able to solve such challenging cases as human trafficking racketeering, police administration corruption, and food processing plant malpractice.

According to Anas, "doing journalism has no point if it does not result in advancement in your society." Without a doubt, it was work like these that brought Anas international acclaim. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was compelled to work with Anas and his Tiger Eye PI firm to reveal numerous additional wrongdoings in Ghanaian society. Moreover, he exposed Ghana's judicial system. The investigation's findings supported the long-held belief in some parts of the nation that some Ghanaian judges of the higher courts of justice accept bribes when making decisions on cases.

The Judiciary Service fired some employees who participated in the Anas video. According to a statement by Ghana's Judicial Council, "Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood had established a prima facie case of stated mis-behavior against them," which was the reason the concerned parties were removed from the judicial service. In that episode, Anas Aremeyaw Anas revealed that he had approximately 500 hours of videotape with judges reportedly demanding sex in exchange for justice and asking for payments. Twenty-two judges of inferior courts were also immediately suspended. However, some of the other judges mentioned in the investigations refuted the accusations.


The top investigator claimed that a probe will be launched to ascertain whether the involved persons were at fault and that, should they be, they might face dismissal. The so-called probe had remained a mirage despite the public's intense interest in the incident. Despite this, Ghana's judicial system took a hit as a result of that investigative work. Many of Ghana's senior judges were briefly startled by the probe report's severity of the mud it threw on the judicial system. Therefore, attempts by some judges to obstruct the screening of the final investigative report were not shocking.

Senyo Dzamefe, a justice on the Court of Appeal at the time, was shocked when Anas' article against the judiciary was published. Justice Dzamefe believed that the public scrutiny of the justices who accepted bribes "tainted the dignity and worth of the judiciary. Without hedging his words, he said during the 39th annual general meeting of the Association of Magistrates and Judges, Ghana (AMJG) in Accra, "We have diminished our dignity and value the day we permitted the notorious Anas film to be aired publicly.

Another kind of investigative journalism is entrapment.

Despite the well-known investigative journalist's significant win, the judges' decision will serve as the basis for examining Anas' methods, and this uncertainty appears to have affected Anas' two additional investigation pieces on the Ghana Football Association and the most recent one, "The Galamsey Economy." Some judges argued that Anas had them under suspicion in the judiciary so that he could accuse them. Similar accusations were made against Anas during his investigations into the GFA and are currently being made towards Charles Adu Boahen, a former finance minister at the Office of the Presidency.

The af are not the only ones voicing their uncertainty.
