According to Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, an unknown ally stole and sold undercover videos shot by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in 2018.
In a publication shared by Ghanaweb, the website quoted the seasoned journalist as the incident itself was in part the reason why Anas used 2018 footage in his most recent exposé, “Galamsey Economy,” to reveal corruption on the part of Charles Adu Boahen, Minister of State in the Finance Ministry.
It was only after backup files had been obtained that the Tiger Eye PI team decided to proceed with the most recent publication, according to Baako, who also claimed that the theft and the passing of the main investigator, Ahmed Hussein Suale, in 2019 had an impact on the specific inquiry.
Baako revealed this saying: “Somebody “stole and sold” it to somebody; thinking the evidence had been deleted forever! The “buyer” went out boasting about his possession for years for whatever reason nobody could tell!
Apparently, the real “owners/authors” subsequently discovered an extra copy! Today’s story begins from there. PAY ATTENTION!”
“Today’s story” from the above quote refers to a publication in the New Crusading GUIDE’s November 14 edition in which Anas – a co-publisher of the paper along with Baako – wrote about the minister’s deeds and misdeeds.
The documentary was subsequently screen twice at the Accra International Conference Center, AICC, on the same day.
In further explanations on the Facebook wall of a pro-Bawumia activist relative to the alleged footage thief, Kweku Baako explained that it happened to be the same guy (unnamed) who doctored a video of Akufo-Addo allegedly taking bribes in 2016.
“Same guy who fabricated a video of Candidate Akufo-Addo recieving a donation from a lady supporter of the NPP in his Nima residence in 2016 when Akufo-Addo was not President but tried to make it look as if he was the President!” he explained.
