Anas: I’ll apologise if judges are freed

Award-winning undercover journalist and CEO of Tiger Eye PI, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, says he’ll feel disappointed and submit himself to any action if all the judges implicated in the judicial corruption scandal are found to be innocent.

“I will feel very terrible if that happens and I will be prepared to apologise to the people of Ghana and I will tell the judges to take me on because I would have dragged their names in the mud,” Anas said to Bernard Avle on the Citi Breakfast Show Tuesday.

The investigative journalist was, however, optimistic that such an eventuality will not happen due to the meticulous approach to the gathering of evidence in the two-year project.

“I am very confident that that won’t happen because I have tested everything that I had, I was sure before I came out and I am as curious as you are to know what will happen after this committee sitting,” he said.

The undercover work captured 34 judges on video taking bribe to pervert justice.

Ghana’s Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood has launched investigative and impeachment proceedings against the 22 Magistrates and 12 High Court Judges.

Meanwhile Justice Paul Dery, one of the accused judges, has filed numerous suits against Tiger Eye PI to challenge the allegations levelled against him.

The latest suit in reference to the exposé is one from Justice Gilbert Ayisi Addo who is seeking to clear his name and declare his suspension null and void.
