I was all set, going to see the latest operation by this mystery man, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who for two decades had gotten Ghana turning on his five fingers. He had gotten the smartest Ghanaian, big or small, looking over his shoulders in every little move on the wrong side of the law.

Call him a gladiator of national values, but he was also an investigative journalist written in bold. The announcement of his forthcoming project,…

Especially at this time when we all agree that times are hard. This is the time we must show our Christian charity…
