I Paid For My Own Ticket To Dubai And Back - Nyantakyi Insists

The confrontaion between Tiger Eye PI and Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi, the embattled Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, has taken a different twist as there is difficulty establishing the specific airline Mr. Nyantakyi traveled with to Dubai as well as the issue of  funding of the trip.

Mr. Nyantakyi insists he payed for his own tickets whilst Tiger Eye PI team has also released an invoice with identifiation number, 16411993 dated 17th, October, purported to be that of Emirates, an Arab airline, which according to them confirms the arrangement of ticket for the travel of Mr. Nyantakyi to and from Dubai.

However Information gathered has it that Mr. Nyantakyi traveled to Dubai on an Egypt Air, somewhat contradicting the initial claims by the Tiger Eye PI team.

It must be established that an invoice, is a document that can be obtained from any service provider which establishes the cost of a service yet to be rendered. What we do not have, however, from Tiger Eye PI is an official receipt that indicates the actual service that was rendered.

Mr. Nyantakyi is challenging the Tiger Eye PI team to prove that indeed, they paid for his travel on Emirates airline as claimed.


Who benefits from the lies or half truths?

In a related development, there seems to be a discrepancy between the amount of money purported to have been given to Mr. Nyantakyi and what he says to have received as reimbursement from the said Sheik. While Tiger Eye PI claims they doled out $65,000, Mr. Nyantakyi, says its. 

Mr. Nyantakyi meanwhile is also alleging that prior to the airing of the video, he was contacted to make a payment of $150,000 to the Tiger Eye PI team to estop the public premiering of the video. He says he was able to come up with a $100,000 but the investigative team rejected the offer. This though has been denied by the Tiger Eye PI team. 

Looking more closely at the emerging issues, Tiger eye has assumed a high moral ground and has very nearly convinced Ghanaians that there cannot be anything dubious about what they do. With issues of doubt now popping up, do we need to  think twice?

It is perhaps, important to begin to dig deeper to establish the credibility of  Anas' story. The report which was a wholly one sided presentation has now been found to contain a lot of unsubstantiated allegations and purposeful destructive half truths with lots of disjointed episodes.
