Anas Aremeyaw Anas has served notice to his detractors that his campaign against corruption will not cease, despite the litany of death threats he is receiving.
The award-winning undercover journalist will on June 6 premiere a documentary on corruption in Ghana football, a piece he believes will shake the foundation of the beautiful game.
The New Patriotic Party MP for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong is on a crusade to reveal the identity of Anas because he is against his modus operandi while the Ghana Journalists Association is appealing to the Ghana Police to protect their member.
“It has come to the attention of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) that internationally-acclaimed investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has received many death threats following his latest investigative piece on the game of football in Ghana, which is scheduled to be premiered in Accra on Wednesday, June 6 and Thursday June 7, 2018. According to sources close to the ace investigative journalist, apart from receiving messages containing threats of death, some unidentified persons have been tracking his office and other locations ostensibly to harm him,” the GJA said in a statement.
Anas on Thursday tweeted: “We will not be intimidated. More strength and solidarity my brother,” after one of his strong advocates and a sports journalist of Atinka FM Saddick Adams (Sports Obama) was trailed by two unknown assailants.
We will not be intimidated. More strength and solidarity my brother @SaddickAdams ✊🏾 https://t.co/xecoOnXrgT

Meanwhile, president Akufo-Addo has reported the head of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi to the police after viewing excerpts of the video yet-to-be released on June 6.
Nyantakyi is currently on a police enquiry bail with the deputy minister of Roads Anthony Karbo also assisting with investigations as the football capo was captured allegedly using the president’s name to induce potential investors for money.
