It’ll put me at risk’-Anas withdraws from testifying against Nyantakyi:

Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas says he will no longer testify in the criminal trial of former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwasi Nyantakyi.

He explains that allowing his face to be inspected before court proceedings will endanger him.

The journalist was, this week, directed by an Accra High Court to testify in open court in his trademark mask but his face would have to be seen by Mr.Nyantakyi before the hearing begins.

Anas points out that his request for the protection of his identity stems from his role as an undercover journalist, and exposing his face elevates the risk.

Tiger Eye P.I. indicated that; “Anas’s request for the protection of his identity stems from his role as an undercover agent and the real and elevated risk that revealing his identity to the accused person will severely compromise his physical security and personal safety.”

He says that he only opted to testify in the stead of his colleague Ahmed Suale who was killed on condition that his identity will be protected.
