Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, is of the assertion that his kind of investigative journalism addresses important issues in the context of Ghana's societal and political landscape.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas, known for his unconventional style of investigative journalism, has consistently focused on anti-corruption and human rights/social justice in his journalistic endeavors. Despite the risks and opposition from some public officials, he remains committed to his work.
According to Anas, he remains unwavering because his services go a long way toward making the Ghanaian community better than it was before.
"It is very easy for people to critique my type of journalism but look I'm a product of my society. And the journalism I produce is the exact journalism is required for my society. I have no qualms with people who go on sermonizing, fantasizing and trying to define journalism.
"I've always said there is no point in doing journalism if it doesn't benefit your society. I've been called that journalist who does not respect the laws of journalism because of a very simple reason. People think that they have to define journalism in a different way and people like us ought to follow that definition," he said.
Anas made these comments during a Disrupt Lab event in Germany. He also used the opportunity to address the topic of death and whether he harbors fear given the nature of his job. Anas was asked directly, "Are you afraid to die?" In response, he expressed that his faith as a Muslim and unwavering conviction provide him with a grounded perspective on the matter of death.
"Fear, I was purged of fear long ago and I am a Muslim, I believe that if you die, you are dead and gone and that it is Allah’s will that you should die.
"And if there is anything I hate, it is that I don’t want to die a coward. I want to die fighting for the right things in society," he stressed.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas has frequently faced threats to his life and the safety of those close to him due to the nature of his work. Unfortunately, his team, Tiger Eye PI, has yet to receive definitive answers regarding the death of one of their key investigators, Ahmed Hussein Suale, who was fatally shot in 2019.
This tragic incident occurred months after the release of Anas' investigative film 'Number 13,' which uncovered corruption in football politics at local, national, and continental levels.
Meanwhile, Anas has recently teased the release of a compelling documentary in January 2024, keeping the subject matter undisclosed. The most recent release before this announcement was the second part of a documentary addressing illegal small-scale mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
