Ace politician Kennedy Agyapong says photos of Patrick Marcelino as that of Anas Aremeyaw Anas were calculatedly released by the journalist first to divert attention and douse the impact of the release of the real photos.

Just before the MP was to release the pictures of the journalist last week, Anas released some pictures claiming it was a chat between Agyapong and some people but the politician says it was a diversionary tactics to confuse the public.

"I only brought two pictures of Anas. One was when he was negotiating to bribe a state prosecutor and the other I got from another source," Agyapong told Adom FM on Monday.

"So the rastaman you saw were not released by me but it was released by that crook Anas to confuse people."

Patrick Marcelino the Brazilian Cinematographer, graphic designer and the Clothing designer says he intends taking all the necessary “legal steps” to remedy the ‘very bad situation’ Ghanaian lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong has put him in — by splashing his pictures on TV and social media.

Agyapong says Anas has tricked the Brazilian into believing it was him who released the pictures.

“One more time, to all the people of Ghana, I am not Anas, I’m Patrick Marcelino, you can check me out on the internet, whatever, Google me,” Patrick Marcelino said.

“And Kennedy, this will not be without any precautions, I will take the legal steps that will have to be taken to set this thing right, you better know that I will.

"All the words that are coming out of my mouth right now are very serious”, he warned.

Marcelino who is also a model found it necessary to say sorry to Ghanaians for the “misinformation”.

" I just want to apologize to all the people in Ghana that got this misinformation, bad information, wrong information thinking right now that we know who Anas is.”
