Ace undercover investigative
journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has revealed that he and President John
Mahama worked together on one of his investigative pieces at Bole in the
past.
Anas had then sought to expose the abductors of a chief at Bole Rebo Raid.
President
Mahama joined Anas on that mission to retrace the routes of the
rebels and abductors, during his time as the Member of Parliament for
the Bole-Bamboi constituency
"I worked together
with the president on that risky story - he carried the camera and
filmed the whole incident - I am sure he still has those clips because
he personally shot them," Anas told Jefferson Sackey in an exclusive
interview on Jefferson Reports.
Anas
was on the show to discuss a new and detailed documentary dubbed "The
Chameleon" made by Canadian filmmaker Ryan Mullens on the life and work
of Anas.
Anas noted that in that investigation he
was chased from Côte d'Ivoire through the bushes and he ended up in
Ghana and he thought that was too risky because anything could have
happened to him.
He said that the Bole story was
one of his regrets and if given another chance, he would not take that
risk and go to the dwelling place of rebels without proper security
protection.
But the risk he regrets taking most
was pretending to be a Catholic priest and entering a Bangkok
Torture Chamber in Thailand to secretly film the crimes being committed
there.
"That was just too risky. I won't do that
again - if I had been captured the Ghana Embassy in Thailand would not
have known about it because it would have looked like I was playing in
the devils mouth and I was captured," he said.
Anas
said as an undercover investigative journalist, he has moments of fear
for his life and for his family, but he trusts in the security measures
put in place by the institutions he works with both at home and abroad,
to protect him and all his beneficiaries.
