The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tiger Eye PI, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has replied to former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, following claims he made on Joy News.
Kwesi Nyantakyi on Joy News claimed that Anas failed to show up in court testify against him, because whatever he did was a hoax.
Nyantakyi stated, “Anas claims that he did the Number 12 exposé on me, but I never met him. He operated in the way a terrorist would in another country, and when there is a bombing somewhere, he says, ‘I am the one.’ That was what he did. So, I have nothing against him”.
“This is a man who said he has done an investigation on corruption that involved me. For five years now, he has been asked to come to court and testify against me, and he never showed up,” he said.
“This means that whatever he did is a hoax. If he believed in it, he would have come to court to be cross-examined,” he added.
“Because nobody can be condemned in this country unless you are given a fair hearing. If you have not been given that hearing, then you cannot be condemned by the law,” he said.
“I don’t think about him. I hold nothing against him. I blame myself,” he said.
In response, Anas issued a statement. which read, “Tiger Eye PI has taken note, once again, of yet another frantic attempt by Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi to peddle misinformation and disinformation about one of the most consequential investigations in African football history-Number 12
It is important to place on record that the CEO of Tiger Eye PI, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, had no case against Mr. Nyantakyi in court that he needed to prove. The case before the court was between the Republic of Ghana and Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was being prosecuted for several offences, including fraud. It is, therefore, bizarre- though not unusual that Mr. Nyantakyi continues to misrepresent the matter as “Anas vs. Nyantakyi.”
Anas offered to testify as a prosecution witness after our Lead Investigator, Ahmed Suale, who had been threatened by Mr. Nyantakyi, was brutally assassinated.
Anas declined to testify only after the trial judge ruled that he must testify in camera but without a mask. This would have exposed him to grave danger, particularly in a country where the murder of Ahmed Suale remains unresolved.
Tiger Eye PI made it clear that Anas’ testimony was strictly contingent on his safety, including not revealing his face to Mr. Nyantakyi. This position was non-negotiable.
The case was withdrawn by the Attorney-General despite overwhelming evidence of fraud, impersonation, and other criminal conduct. Mr Nyantakyi was not acquitted on the merits; the case collapsed solely because of a flawed prosecutorial decision to discontinue proceedings following Anas’ withdrawal”.
