Anas reveals high profile persons implicated in latest investigative work

Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has revealed that some top individuals in the country have been implicated in his latest investigative project on corruption.

Speaking on his latest project, Anas disclosed on a local radio based in Bolgatanga, that: “There will be a lot of dangers this year. It will not be easy because it will have a national impact and those who will be affected may go home. A good number of respected persons will go home this year so I advise we should increase our security”

Anas, who also participated in the National Media Festival 2017 organised by the Press Foundation (TPF) on Wednesday, January 10, in Bolgatanga, Upper East regional capital, also apologised to families affected by his work, but added that the consequences of the actions of the individuals involved cannot be measured.

“I know some of you are not happy because I’ve dealt with some of your relatives. I will apologise. I’m sorry. But it was necessary because the impact on the lives of other people cannot be measured. It could happen to anybody. Fairness is a very important ingredient that would lead to our country developing. Lack of this element is a straight way to chaos.

“So, when we set off for that mission to film or to investigate, let none of you think that it’s for selfish interest. Who says it is enjoyable standing in front of you wearing a mask? I would love to have removed it to speak to you, but it’s not a bed of roses,” he added.
