The Organizing Secretary for the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Albert Kwabena Dwomfour, has described threats on Ghanaian Investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas as a mere attempt to redirect the focus of his expose.
The video, which captures GFA President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, forms part of the yet -to- be released corruption exposé by ace investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas on Ghana football.
The public viewing of the exposé titled “Number 12: When Misconduct and Greed Become the Norm”, is slated for June 6, 2018.
After releasing teasers of the expose, it is reported that Anas Aremeyaw Anas has been receiving life threating messages from unknown persons.
Speaking to Ekourba Gyasi on Atinka AM Drive, Organizing Secretary for the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Albert Kwabena Dwomfour mentioned that Anas has worked for the country and that he should be applauded not threatened.
According to him, Anas was however expectant of the threats and that he is still focused on releasing “number 12” on June 6, 2018. “Anas stands for three things 'Name, Shame and Jail' and will not compromise on any of them” he said.
The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) in statement has called for a 24-hour protection for investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
“We urge the Ghana Police Service, Bureau of National Investigations and other security agencies to, as a matter of urgency, and in utmost national interest, provide a 24-hour protection for Anas and all his interests, including his family and properties. The security agencies should not allow aggrieved and disgruntled individuals to endanger the life of this patriotic citizen of Ghana, who, at a very young age, has rendered very invaluable services to the nation,” the statement added.
