Investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has dared former president of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, to name persons he claimed demanded $150, 000 from him to cancel the screening of #Number12 exposé.
Kwesi Nyantakyi in a statement copied to citinewsroom.com on Monday said ahead of the screening of the video, a lawyer, supposedly with links to Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team, demanded $150,000 to stop the screening.
The claim has since generated a serious debate on various media platforms with some saying Anas perhaps wanted to blackmail Nyantakyi.
But in a counter statement issued by Anas, he denied any move to extort money from the embattled GFA boss.
He dared Kwesi Nyantakyi to name the supposed lawyer who made the demand.
According to Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Kwesi Nyantakyi’s claim was a mere fabrication that lacked merit.
“The claim that a third party made a demand of $150k for Anas is a complete fabrication, a figment of Mr. Nyantakyi’s imagination and has no merit. We dare Mr. Nyantakyi to name this third party. In fact, Tiger Eye is willing to provide undercover support to assist him find this third party should he extend an invitation to us again,” he said.
Responding to another allegation by Mr. Nyantakyi that the $65,000 he was caught on tape packing into a black polythene bag in the video, was a reimbursement for his travel and accommodation expenses over the supposed league sponsorship deal, Anas insisted that it was gift to Nyantakyi.
