Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong has been on a mission to expose award-winning investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas following the latter’s ‘Number 12’ expose which is set to be premiered from June 6 across the country.
While he has portrayed himself as someone fighting to root out corruption in society, a lot of people in Ghana have fingered him in corrupt activities with lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong leading the charge.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ integrity suffered a major blow on Friday when a Tamale chief revealed that the undercover journalist took a bribe of $50,000 to drop an investigation he was carrying out on his activities.

Mohammed Hafiz Abdullah, the Dema Naa of Tamale, made this shocking revelation on Friday revealing how Anas demanded huge sums of money to drop the investigation.
The Dema Naa said he was made to part with the money fearing that the investigation would bring him embarrassment so he parted with $50,000 to Anas while his friend also parted with $50,000 to complete Anas’ demands of $100,000.
With massive trouble looming over his suspicious activities, Anas Aremeyaw Anas has approached the US Embassy in Accra to evacuate his family to the United States.

The controversial undercover journalist is fearing for the lives of his immediate family and approached the US Embassy on Friday to grant his family special protection for them to be flown out of Ghana after his cover was blown this week.
Sources close to the family of Anas disclosed that the journalist fears that he could be harmed by people he has investigated as they would be seeking a revenge on him.
Anas is involved in several messy land grab issues mostly in the rich neighbourhoods of Tse Addo (behind Trade Fair) and East Legon in Accra after being accused of using his contacts in the country to threaten, intimidate and seize lands from defenceless citizens.

The revelation of his real face has set people on alert which makes Anas feel that people he has offended are on the hunt for him.
He is said to have abandoned his home and resorted to sleeping in a taxi to avoid being caught.
