'Corrupt' Anas?

It will be recalled that in the lead-up to the premiere of Anas' #Number12: ‘When Greed and Corruption Become the Norm' exposé on Ghana football on last Wedesday, June 6th, Ken Agyapong descended heavily and criticized the investigative journalist on media platforms belonging to him as well as others and accusing him of alleged corrupt acts in his operations.

He strongly held the view that Anas’ method of investigation is wrong because he lures his victims into a trap.

He also accused Anas of being corrupt and even vowed to unmask Anas and has even shared some photos of a man he claimed is Anas.

To him, Anas sets his victims up to take bribes with the aim to destroy their reputation.
