Anas Aremeyaw Anas is an investigative journalist
The Attorney General's request to provide additional evidence to prosecute the former president of the Ghana Football Federation (GFA) has already been accepted, said the lawyer Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
"Everything has been handed over," Anas 'lawyer, Anas' lawyer, said on Tuesday to Kissi Agyabeng.
Anas put further pressure on the attorney general to pursue Kwesi Nyantakyi, a key target of his investigative documentary that showed him peddling influence.
Anas has collected signatures in an online petition. In an interview with the BBC, Attorney General Sophia Akuffo said the department was waiting for Anas to present new evidence, the absence of which delays the prosecution.
But Kissi Agyabeng thinks there might be a gap between Anas and the A-G department, as all the raw and uncut videos requested have been delivered.
The specific video is an interaction in Accra between Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Kwesi Nyantakyi.
There is no confusion in providing a video of an interaction in Dubai between the two. It is the registration of Accra that the A-G wants.
Kissi Agyabeng has noted what the A-G wants, she has already done.
The criminalist believes however that the Attorney General does not need this video to carry out the prosecution.
"The bonus on this is not that germane. I firmly believe that the state institution could continue with uncut raw video. "
There are also enough emails between Anas, a businessman, and the accused.
Nevertheless, the Attorney General has the wisdom to decide what evidence is needed to strengthen the prosecution's case, he said.
President Nana Akufo-Addo reported Kwesi Nyantakyi to the police in May 2018 after viewing Anas's investigative video before it was released publicly.
He would have used the name of Nana Akufo-Addo and his vice-president, Dr. Bawumia, to encourage potential investors to part with various sums of money.
FIFA has decided to ban Mr Nyantakyi from life for all activities related to football. In addition, he will pay 500,000 Swiss francs (2,613,051.58 GHS) for violating FIFA's rules on conflicts of interest and corruption.
