Ghanaian journalist Paul Adom-Otchere has alleged that as far as he can tell, the Galamsey economy exposé by Tiger Eye PI and Anas Aremeyaw Anas was more about a vendetta and had little to do with Charles Adu Boahen.
On his show, Good Evening Ghana on Thursday, November 17th 2022, Adom-Otchere said comments by Abdul Malik Kwaku-Baako, editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide and essentially Anas’ boss, indicate to him that there is more to the documentary’s release than meets the eye.
He said the documentary was not released to fight corruption but to settle a political score.
He was reacting after Kwaku Baako explained why the documentary was released four full years after it was filmed in Dubai.
Baako wrote: “Somebody “stole and sold” it to somebody; thinking the evidence had been deleted forever! The “buyer” went out boasting about his possession for years, for whatever reason nobody could tell! Apparently, the real “owners/authors” subsequently discovered an extra copy! Today’s story begins from there. PAY ATTENTION!”
“Same guy who fabricated a video of Candidate Akufo-Addo receiving a donation from a lady supporter of the NPP in his Nima residence in 2016 when Akufo-Addo was not President but tried to make it look as if he was the President!” he added.
In analysing Baako’s claim, Adom-Otchere said what his explanation tells him is that the video was not released to fight corruption.
“It (issues surrounding the documentary) comes out as a major vendetta between two people. It may not even have been about Charles. Now, we are hearing that the fundamental opponent to Tiger Eye, whom we know (a presidential candidate) … in the process of investigating Tiger Eye, probably found the material (the documentary). It is believed that he found this material and shared it with other people… so this material has been in the system since 2019.” Adom-Otchere said.
“…So, it looks like the person that Kweku Baako said stole it; he took it and shared it with other people. And as Kweku Baako alleges, somebody (either the person who stole the documentary or another person) was boasting about having the documentary. So, when the Tiger Eye people, whom Kwaku Baako described as owners and authors, found out that they had a copy of the material, they decided to fire it (publish it). So that is the vendetta. At that stage, I’m not sure it is about fighting corruption to support Ghana. It is a personal vendetta,” he added.
