Ghana Premier League side Asante Kotoko says they are not happy with Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye PI- an investigative firm for using their matches in the recent investigations on Ghana Football.
In a press statement signed by the club’s Executive Board Chairman Dr. Kwame Kyei,, read: “we strongly condemn Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team for scheming their match-fixing scandal to go against Asante Kotoko SC.
“We wish to express our utter disgust and disaffection about the conduct of the referee involved in the match fixing scandal, which resulted in the poor handling of some league matches notably our match against Accra Hearts of Oak handled by referee Samuel Suker in Accra last season.
“The painful loss suffered by our club in the said match and other matches through similar machinations are irreparable, irreversible and incalculable.
“We appeal to the security agencies not to leave any stone unturned in their quest to conduct further thorough investigations to get to the bottom of the matter,” the statement added.

ONLY NARROW MINDED GHANAIANS WOULD SUPPORT THE METHODOLOGY OF ANAS. PRAISING HIM FOR EXPOSING CORRUPTION. EXPOSING CORRUPTION AT OTHER PEOPLES INTEREST. WE ARE ALL HAPPY HE HAS BROUGHT OUT THE ROTS IN GHANA .YES , THAT IS TRUE BUT THE ISSUE NOW IS THAT SOME TEAMS LOST MATCHES BECAUSE OF HIS INTERFERENCE. IT MIGHT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A TEAM BEEN RELEGATED OR WINNING TROPHIES.SOCCER BETING IS NOW INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS WHERE PEOPLE BET WITH THEIR WHOLE LIFE. WHAT OUR BROTHER HAS DONE MEANS THAT SOME PEOPLE LOST BETS THEY SHOULD HAVE WON IF ANAS HAD NOT INFLUENCED THE REFEREES . THE BIG QUESTION IS, CAN SOMEONE DO UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION FOR A THIRD PARTY WHO IS INNOCENT TO SUFFER LOSSES ? I AM NOT A LAWYER BUT THIS IS AGAINST NATURAL JUSTICE . CLEARLY ANAS COULD BE IN COURT TO ANSWER SO MANY QUESTIONS. IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN I WOULD CONCLUDE THAT GHANAIANS DO NOT KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.
Joe Pee, what do you expect from an ndc man, they ndc contracted Anas to do what he did. Look at the trend, Anas went to all those ndc were against just to destroy them. Why would he choose Asante Kotoko over Hearts of Oak or any other club? because they think Kotoko coming from Kumasi and for that matter Ashanti region the strong hold of the governing party ,let's destroy them, let's name and shame to destroy. Onyame ahu mo oooooo! your evil machinations will come to not. I agree with those who are calling for calm to study Anas investigative projects well and see if he did it in good faith or bad to destroy some people. Why would Anas leave his # 11,10,9,8,7,6, and jump all over to 12 where Kwesi Nyantakyi mispoke about the President and his team and why would Anas leave his 2015 investigation about someps and government then officials to bring out this? what is Anas looking to achieve? Somebody tell him, his Mahama the most corrupt former president who could be so cheap and go down to accept a 2nd hand Ford Expedition from no other person than a Burkinabe is still the incompetent corrupt guy, even he extended his corruption to Kenya elections and recently to Sierra Leone where he was chased out before the election results were announced. The Sierra Leoneans call him Square face spongebob! this is the man ndc are dying and falling over themselves for, when even Sierra Leoneans don't take him for anything. Mention John Mahama to a Sierra Leonean and you will hear how he/she will describe him. Ndc is not good for Ghana.
ABK, your thinking is illogical and perverse; very naive. You don't correct societal wrongs by doing more wrongs. The proper way would be for Anas to try to get real evidence of bribe's not given by him or his agents and then video it. Someone is bribing a referee and you hear of it and then you go and video him; that is real and proper. No one would be complaining about Anas methods; if they were not criminal. By Anas and his agents bribing someone, i.e. the referee; they have committed an illegality and abused the privacy of the referee and must go to prison with the bribe receiver, the referee. The fact that he is a private investigator does not give Anas a right to use a subterfuge, entrapment method to set up people. That approach is criminal. If he cannot use a non-criminal approach then he is an incompetent investigator and has no business working in investigations. Better, real investigators such as Kennedy and Amidu do not use such entrapment methods but successfully investigated gargantuan corruption in the cases of Ibrahim Mahama, Opuni and Woyome. Kotoko and other clubs who lost their games can sue Anas and indeed the GFA can also sue him for such criminal meddling in games. Indeed even those who bet on the games and lost can sue him. Anas will definitely be sued by many and will end up in prison. Why do simple minded people such as you also want to comment on such matters?
I don't get it when people come hard on Anas... I've a couple of questions: 1. Does Anas create the environment within which bribes are taken by referees? 2. Didn't Anas only PARTICIPATE in the already established bribe-taking conditions prevailing at the time? So where are all these misplaced criticisms coming from? Was Anas'undercover operations around when the May 9 stadium disaster occurred? Was that disaster not occasioned by poor refereeing of a football match between Kotoko and Hearts? People should rather be grateful to Anas for bringing out what's shrouded in the dark and secrecy!
Anas should be sued for promoting his selfish interest instead of the national interest. who does he think he is in this country?? are we all not human beings. bogusss methodology.
Very intelligent question to Anas, why did Anas choose to bribe the referee against Kotoko, the person who lost his life because of this wick3d act cannot be brought back again, Anas and his Tiger eye must render an unqualify apology to the Kotoko fraternity
