Saani Daara V Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Tiger Eye Pi and AG
(HUMAN RIGHTS COURT 2: Justice Nicholas Abodakpi)
Saanie Daara has sued Tiger Eye, Anas and Attorney General for breach of privacy in relation to the Number12 documentary. The Respondents have responded to the suit and accordingly filed their witness statement opposing the relics being sought by Sannie.
Saani Daara prayed the Court to dismiss the witness statement tendered on be-half of the Respondents (Anas and Tiger Eye PI) by their lawyers as hearsay.
Lawyers for Mr Daara also pleaded with the Court to allow his lawyers to cross examine the lawyer for the Respondents who swore to the witness statement.
And finally asked the Court that if it strikes out the witness statement, it should go ahead and hear the case without any evidence from the Respondents.
The argument by lawyers for the Respondents were that due to the nature of death threats on the lives of the Respondents (1st and 2nd), it was imperative that their lawyers are allowed to stand in their stead. They go on further to argue that the information that the Respondents would tender in court is what they have told their lawyers.
The Court was of the opinion that although the lives of the respondents were at risk, it was not a good enough excuse to come under the exceptions allowed by CI 47 for a lawyer to stand in the stead of their clients treating the client as unavailable witness.
The Court said it had taken judicial notice of the fact that a member of Tiger Eye PI has been killed and that by the nature of Human rights Court procedure, this case will be fought primarily on Affidavit.
The judge went on to say because it will be fought on Affidavit, there will be no need for any operative of the Respondent to appear in person to be cross ex-amined. And since they will not be in Court, they must at least visit their lawyers and write their witness statements to be tendered in Court.
They have since done that. An associate of Tiger Eye will simply swear to same affidavit to be tendered in court this week. Anas will not be in Court neither will he make any personal statement in Court.
The Court never ordered Anas to appear in Court to defend himself. That is outright peddling of falsehood.

this Anas guy is becoming too annoying esp by his posture. I don't understand why our laws should protect someone to set up and blackmail others in the name of so called corruption fighting. meanwhile he's the most corrupt journalist in Ghana.
Iam simply amazed at how some people are castigating Anas. Does it mean that some people are so corrupt that they are against the style of his investigations? If you are honest will you be afraid of his tactics? Those arguing about the homes he has destroyed, have they thought about the lives that has been destroyed through our corrupt practices? Are we thinking about the homes of people destroyed because a judge has taken bribe and thrown the innocent one in jail? Are they thinking about impact of corrupt ion on social development? At the may 9th stadium episode that over 100 people died, can it be as a result of a bribe a referee took that made him take that decision? We should note no one announces that he is going to take bribe for him to be monitored. The nature of corruption can only be fought on unconventional methods.
You will still lose the case Anas
After all , who is Anas ? Anas is simply blackmailer,***barred word***, asesinator and wife snacher.
This crook guy has destroyed a lot of people and their families. His modus operandi is questionable. He sets up people, disgraces them, makes them loose their jobs WHILES HE ENJOYS FROM THEIR SUFFERINGS BY SELLING THOSE BOGGUS EDITED VIDEOS TO GAIN MONEY.and he calls himself a Muslim? Which well meaning Muslim will set up people by first spewing lies? It was Ahmed Suale who began this whole gfa thing by TELLING LIES THAT HE WORKS WITH SHEIK ATTANI. SO I ASK, ARE THESE THR0OUGH MUSLIMS? DID ALLAH SAY WE SHOULD TEMPT PEOPLE? ANAS IS A DISGRACE TO MUSLIMS.
Trust me, Anas will be in court but he is afraid that people will come to court to see him. Remember he said the pictures published sometime ago were not Ahmed and himself but when one of the individuals in the pictures were gun down, that individual mysteriously became Ahmed. Anas can ***barred word*** authorities in Ghana but not ordinary Ghanaian. Stop that fo-olish tricks. Just look at the source of the article- Anas is coming to court. I heard some Ivorians abroad have started taking pictures of him and they intend to build a webpage full of his pictures. If he has the right to publish peoples pictures because they're corrupt then others also have the right to publish his pictures because he's also corrupt (blackmailer, extortionist, land-stealer, impersonator)
Anas is above the law, simplicita. if he can go to the President with his face covered then wr are doomed as a country.
Tiger eye people should tell this to the dogs. Who at all does Anas think he is? They are nauseating entities. We dont have to allow Ana's and his likes to be f000oo00ling around.as for KWeku Baako I feel pity for him. I really respected him a lot but his reputation and credibility has fallen. It's a shame.
