Investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas has hit back at former Ghana FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi over the allegation that he demanded an amount of $150,000 to shelve the Number 12 documentary.
Speaking to Onua TV in an interview, Mr. Nyantakyi said he was contacted by some of Anas’ people to pay the amount as bribe to kill the documentary.
He said after paying $100,000, it was deemed too small, leading to the release of the Number 12 documentary.
But reacting to the allegation, Anas Aremeyaw Anas through his Tiger Eye PI says he is shocked.
In a release, Tiger Eye PI said the admission by Kwesi Nyantakyi proves he is a self-confessed bribe giver and a bribe-taker.
“Mr. Nyantakyi's assumption that such a priceless exposé, which had long been advertised by BBC, could be shelved simply 'paying' a $100,000 bribe is not only shocking but by also indicative of naivety. Tiger Eye underscores its robust internal mechanisms in place, making it difficult for any individual to alter or suppress an investigation.
“Mr. Nyantakyi, by his admission, is a self-confessed bribe-giver, and a bribe-taker for attempting to bribe his way out of a painstaking investigation into his conduct,” the Tiger Eye PI release said.
It added, “Per his self-confessed bribery attempt, Mr. Nyantakyi has proven that the life-ban from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level for conflict of interest and bribery offences provided for by FIFA Code of Ethics (FCE) was justified.”
