Anas called on the public to disregard Nyantakyi’s claims
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tiger Eye PI, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has debunked claims that he could not prove in court allegations against Kwesi Nyantakyi regarding a president during the Number 12 exposé.
Speaking in an interview with JoyNews, the former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President claimed that Anas failed to produce evidence in court to support allegations that he had said he had “the president in his pocket.”
Nyantakyi argued that this was a clear indication he was not guilty of the charges leveled against him by the investigative journalist, insisting it vindicated his position.

In response, Anas has denied the claims, describing them as misinformation intended to damage his reputation, and stressing that nothing of the sort happened.
The award‑winning investigative journalist explained that the case in court was between the Republic of Ghana and Nyantakyi, not himself, and, therefore, the football administrator was misrepresenting the facts.
“It is important to place on record that the CEO of Tiger Eye PI, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, had no case against Nyantakyi in court that he needed to prove. The case before the court was between the Republic of Ghana and Kwesi Nyantakyi, who was being prosecuted for several offences, including fraud. It is therefore bizarre—though not unusual that Nyantakyi continues to misrepresent the matter as ‘Anas vs Nyantakyi,’” he stated.
Anas also defended his decision not to testify in the case.
“Anas offered to testify as a prosecution witness after our Lead Investigator, Ahmed Suale, who had been threatened by Nyantakyi, was brutally assassinated. Anas declined to testify only after the trial judge ruled that he must testify in camera but without a mask. This would have exposed him to grave danger, particularly in a country where the murder of Ahmed Suale remains unresolved,” portions of the statement read.
Tiger Eye PI admonished the public to disregard Nyantakyi’s claims, describing them as an attempt to redeem his image.
“We understand Nyantakyi may be seeking to rehabilitate his damaged reputation. However, history cannot be rewritten with lies, distortions, or propaganda. Tiger Eye PI urges the public to disregard this latest attempt at deception. Tiger Eye PI remains unwavering in its mission to confront corruption in fulfilment of our mandate to ‘Name, Shame, and Jail,’” the statement added.
The Number 12 documentary, released in 2018, exposed alleged corruption in Ghanaian football and led to Nyantakyi stepping down from his roles at the GFA, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and FIFA.
