Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his team Tiger Eye P.I have dared former GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi to pursue legal action if the claims he made on Onua TV on April 2, 2024, are true. The team denied taking a $100,000 bribe to shelve the Number 12 exposé.
Tiger Eye P.I said, “Should Mr. Nyantakyi’s claims hold substance, we challenge him to pursue legal action against Lawyer Kwame Gyan, including lodging a petition with the General Legal Council, to substantiate his allegations,” the press release read.
Also, the firm denied the accusations that Anas was running away from testifying in court. It said, Nyantakyi only got the impetus to go to court after the state’s witness, Ahmed Suale, was murdered.
“Presently, Mr. Nyantakyi remains a subject of a ban from all football-related activities, both domestically and internationally. Additionally, he faces ongoing criminal trial for corruption and fraud at the High Court in Accra. Mr. Nyantakyi’s desperation to evade accountability could only happen after the murder of the key witness for the state, Ahmed Suale, after his face was shown on national television. A day before his assassination, Mr. Suale was in conference with state prosecutors over the criminal trial of Nyantakyi.
The statement added that Anas accepted to replace his murdered colleague as the star witness for the state but a Supreme Court ruling that endangered his life caused him to pull out.
Anas “has opted not to testify following a Supreme Court ruling mandating him to show his face to Mr. Nyantakyi and his legal team. Anas perceives this as a significant risk to his personal safety. However, should the Supreme Court grant permission for his testimony without disclosing his identity, Anas is prepared to cooperate fully as a witness for the state.”
Also, the statement denied ever contracting any lawyer named Kwame Gyan. It said the firm has remained with “Tiger Eye and Anas have exclusively retained the legal representation of Cromwell Gray LLP, situated in Cantonments, Accra. Cromwell Gray LLP has consistently acted as legal counsel for Anas in matters relating to litigation initiated by or against journalistic publications involving Anas” Tiger Eye P.I reiterated.”
