Renowned undercover investigator, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has declined an order by an Accra High Court to allow former Ghana Football Association President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, to identify him in chambers before he testifies in open court in his face mask.
The court, presided over by Justice Marie Louise Simmons, on Wednesday, May 17, ruled to allow Anas to disguise himself during his testimony but must be identified by Mr. Nyantakyi in chambers first.
But a statement by the investigative firm, Tiger Eye PI explained that allowing Anas to be identified by Nyantakyi in the Judge’s chambers would compromise his security and safety.
The investigative firm added that one of its investigators, Ahmed Suale, was killed on the same day that he had had engagements with the Attorney General’s office on his testimony against the accused person in the above-styled case.
“As much as Anas is willing and ready to testify for the prosecution, doing so under the condition specified by the court, presents a clear and present danger to his security and safety.
“Under these circumstances, prudence requires that he declines the invitation to endanger his life and accordingly declines the invitation to reveal his identity to the accused person in the judges’ chamber or any other place.”
