“The Evil That You Do, Leaves After You” – GROUP Tells ANAS

The reputation and credibility of ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremyaw Anas seems to be under another attack as it appears it’s buried with more controversies.

But it's still a mystery, who really is the man behind the mask, a mystery everybody is eager to unveil.

This time new ‘revelations’ about his identity and modus operandi of his work has allegedly emerged on social media.

One of several people in the Ghanaian political landscape who is known to be the thorn in the flesh of Anas Aremyaw Anas is the NPP Member of

WE'RE4KEN

Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, who has on several occasions doubted the credibility of the ace investigative journalist.

The lawmaker has over the past few months since the release of Anas’ Number 12 – a documentary which revealed corruption in the Ghana Football Association, spearheaded by the then president of the association, Kwesi Nyantakyi – accused the journalist of perpetuating corruption in his bid to entrap innocent public officials.

However, following the emergence of a new video supposedly exposing the true identity of Anas Aremyaw Anas as a con man who uses his name and

role in the media to blackmail people, a debate is rising about the possible vindication of Kennedy Agyapong.

“He said he’s Anas Aremeyaw. He’s coming to claim. Today I’ve got Anas. Somebody has title, you’re coming to claim that you’re Anas Aremeyaw Anas,” the visibly upset looking man is heard shouting the journalist’s name and questioning his authenticity in the video.

Neither Anas nor his lawyers have officially responded to the trending video. The Assin Central lawmaker has also not made any public pronouncements.

But in June 2018, after the release of the Number 12 documentary, Mr Agyapong in several TV and radio interviews alleged amongst other things

that Anas is a fraud boy who dupes people of their money and properties in the name of investigative journalism.

“This is not the end of it all. In the coming days, I’ll also show Anas in different recordings deceiving people to take money as gifts and he later capturing them to put out there. What kind of cruelty is that?” Mr Agyapong is quoted to have said in an interview after he released the first part of his documentary ‘Who watches the watchman’.

While on Adom TV, the legislator challenged Anas to provide concrete evidence on his source of wealth, alleging that the investigative journalist

has acquired estates and lands together with other vast assets by extorting monies from people.

He also added that Anas employed the services of land guards to terrorize people and plunder two lands at Trade Fair in Accra.

"The guy is not genuine. He's blackmailing people. He's extortionist, taking monies from people. He is evil. He’s an extortionist. He is a blackmailer," the vociferous politician said.

Even though facts about the video have not been established yet, some have argued it 'vindicates' Kennedy Agyapong for allegations against the Anas.

The journalist's credibility also suffered a major blow after Kwesi Nyanktakyi accused him of blackmail and extortion.

Mr Nyantakyi is quoted to have said in an interview that, "...there was a demand on me through a third party to part with $150,000 for Anas to drop the videos on me. I didn’t have the said amount of money to meet his demand."

These are not the only instances where the integrity of Anas Aremyaw Anas has been questioned however, daring accusations directed at the journalist have over the months been met with legal suits.

Looking at this keenly afar, a group, calling itself ‘WE ARE FOR KEN’ a pro Assin Central Member of Parliament, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong faction believes their superior has been vindicated.

The group consists of hundreds of members both Ghanaians abroad and locals.

Some of the executive members are as follows: ABREFA GYAN (President & Founder), ADANE FRANK (Secretary), MADAM NAOMI (Member) etc. etc.

In a statement the group said, “Every claim made by Kennedy Agyapong on radio, television or on any platform about Aremeyaw Anas was a fact. Everything he said about that guy was the gospel truth. Only non-patriots hate him”.

The group is however alleging that, personality in the video which has gone viral on many social media platforms is the Ace investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Meanwhile, Ghanaians on social media have been thrown into a public divide following the purporting video to unmask the identity of the ace investigative journalist.

Reacting to the development, President and Founder of ‘WE ARE FOR KEN”, Mr. Abrefa Gyan asserted that, Kennedy Agyapong don’t lie about

KEN AND DAUGHTER

issues but always speaks on point and with facts to buttress his claim.

He said, the land con allegations made against Anas by Ken are all true.

“It’s about time we open our eyes on that Anas guy else, he will destroy and tarnish images of hard earned reputation of people in our motherland. He’s not a saint but rather sycophancy winning public sympathy”, Mr. Gyan added.

He’s therefore calling on Ghanaians to hold-well the Assin Central MP, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong as he’s the thorn on the flesh of villain individuals in the country.
