Anas presents more ‘Number 12’ footages to GFA
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Ethics Committee has taken delivery of the raw footage of the “Number 12 exposé” from investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye PI firm.
The Accra-based investigative organisation on June 6, 2018, premiered anti-graft investigation involving Ghanaian football officials in which former GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi was implicated.
The investigation was meant to uncover some unscrupulous behaviour in the Ghanaian football fraternity.
Mr Nyantakyi was subsequently banned for life from all football activities and the executive team at the time was dissolved.
After a new GFA was constituted with Kurt Okraku taking over as President, the Executive Council in February 2020, requested for the raw footage of the “Number 12 exposé” in order to deal with the matter which remains one of the key Compliance and Integrity demands from Fifa.
The videos are key components for the Ethics Committee in its work on governance issues.
Officials of Tiger Eye PI have also assured the GFA of their preparedness to assist the Ethics Committee in its work.
Receiving the footage, the association’s General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, thanked officials of Cromwell Gray LLP (lawyers of Tiger Eye PI) on behalf of the Ghana Football Association, assuring all that work would commence immediately on the matter to bring closure to all stakeholders including Fifa.
