Tiger Eye PI rejects Nyantakyi’s claims, defends Number 12 exposé

Tiger Eye Private Investigations (Tiger Eye PI) has dismissed what it describes as renewed attempts by former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi to spread misinformation about the Number 12 corruption exposé.

In a statement, Tiger Eye PI clarified that its Chief Executive Officer, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, did not have a personal case against Mr. Nyantakyi before any court.

According to the investigative organisation, the criminal proceedings were between the Republic of Ghana and Mr. Nyantakyi, who faced charges including fraud.

Tiger Eye PI explained that Anas had agreed to testify as a prosecution witness following the murder of lead investigator Ahmed Hussein-Suale, who, the group claims, had received threats from Mr. Nyantakyi prior to his death.

However, Anas later withdrew from the case after a court ruled that he could testify without wearing a mask, a decision the organisation said posed a serious risk to his safety.

The statement further noted that the case against Mr. Nyantakyi was discontinued by the Attorney-General, despite what Tiger Eye PI described as overwhelming evidence.

The group stressed that the discontinuation did not amount to an acquittal on the merits of the case.

Tiger Eye PI also pointed to FIFA’s sanctions against Mr. Nyantakyi — including a fine and a lengthy ban from football-related activities — as independent confirmation of misconduct uncovered during the Number 12 investigation.

Additionally, the organisation disclosed that Mr. Nyantakyi had previously filed a defamation suit against Anas but later abandoned the case.

Tiger Eye PI has therefore urged the public to disregard what it termed attempts to “rewrite history” through misinformation, reiterating its commitment to exposing corruption and promoting accountability.
