Anas cancels Kumasi screening

The public showing of the judicial corruption scandal video in Kumasi has been called off.

Anas in a brief statement on his Facebook page said 'we have just been served with a writ here in Kumasi seeking to injunct us from the Ashanti Regional screening of Ghana In The Eyes Of God.'

Investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tigereye PI team had scheduled to screen the video today at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi but was called off following a suit by one of the indicted judges, Justice Paul Uuter Dery.

He also apologised for the inconvenience. 'I want to tell the great people of Kumasi that I am terribly sorry for this development.

I will urge all of you who have travelled from far and near for this eventful night here In the Garden city to remain calm, we are putting measures in place for another day. Sorry for any inconvenience once more.

Let's all join hands in enhancing our democracy,' he added. Justice Paul Uuter Dery had filed a contempt suit against the Golden Tulip Hotel [Kumasi], Tigereye PI and Ultimate FM over their intention to show the corruption scandal video in the region.

Justice Dery is seeking the following reliefs: 1. A declaration that the intended public screening of the contents of the audio visual recordings to the public by the 1st and 2nd Defendants at the 3rd Defendant's facility is prejudicial to the Plaintiff's right to a fair hearing.
