Former President John Evan Atta-Mills’ name popped up in Berlin last month during a Disrupt Lab event in Germany which featured Investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Speaking on some of his investigative works, Mr Aremeyaw recounted efforts by the late President to combat smuggling of Cocoa outside Ghana.

“My late President John Atta-Mills, he tasked the state security agencies to ensure that Cocoa which is the major export produced in Ghana should not be stolen.

“He had tasked the security agencies there to ensure that people smuggling Ghana’s Cocoa out of the country are arrested but what did the security agencies do? They arrived and rather assisted the people to stab the nation in the back,” he said.

Mr Aremeyaw said he and his team of investigative journalists exposed this rot and eventually, it led to the arrest of the culprits.
