Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper has apologized for publicly stating that Anas' documentary; Number 12 was a collaboration between the BBC and the ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Mr Baako had earlier stated that the latest investigative piece by Anas was a joint cooperative piece between Tiger Eye PI and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
"I had said so publicly that it was a joint project . . . why I said so was because the people who were dealing with Anas three of them I know for the last 30 to 40 years were BBC people. Apparently, they've left BBC but they're part of the technical team. They came to me, I dealt with them on so many things . . . so I assumed," Kweku Baako explained.
However, the BBC denied his claims in a statement indicating that “Contrary to any reports or rumours you may have heard or seen prior to publication stating ‘Number 12’ was a product of a collaborative work by the BBC and the journalist (Anas Aremeyaw Anas) this was not the case. The BBC documentary, ‘Betraying the Game”, broadcast after “Number 12” was first put into the public domain, was an independent and impartial work and a report about Mr. Anas’ investigation. The BBC played no part whatsoever in his investigation and has never sought to suggest otherwise. Mr Anas is not a BBC journalist, we did not work with him during his investigation or commission him to carry out this investigation.”
According to Kweku Baako, there was a level of arrangement and collaboration between them but he had gone to the extent of saying the BBC were joint owners, because three individuals he assumed were still technical staff of the BBC, had been in constant touch with him (Baako) prior to the premiere.
"So I was wrong . . . and that is why the BBC made Anas to go on air to clear the misconception. This Sulemana stuff is belated because already Anas had cleared the air," he added.
Kweku Baako contributing to a panel discussion on Wednesday's edition of Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' said; "I accept responsibility for what I put out there and if people got deceived I apologize . . . I said so because I just thought it was the truth I was putting out . . . whatever it is, Kweku Baako takes full responsibility for that misrepresentation or misinformation I put out there, and I sincerely apologize".

my only advise to all those ple suing anas in the law courts to kindly withdraw bcos they will not win against him. he has the judicial system in his pockets. even the judges could not win against him so who are u? if u want justice, take him to the spiritual courts. take him to the ones in Benin and u will get justice withing seconds. my humble advise. thank me later
May be Ken was right when he said the reason Anas and Kweku went to show the video to the president and his vice was to take them from Nyantakyi's pocket and put them in their own pockets. in that way they can have the freedom to operate like they have been doing under mahama. now i have lost of the respect i have for Kweku bcos it looks to me that he is still lying to defend anas. i am sure that was what anas told him but he is lying to cover him. unfortunately he has decided to go down with anas and we will help him to. for those still supporting them, i pray u get ur senses soon.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP LYING MR.?
this business of kwaku trying to eat into the fame of Anas and lying all the time to defend him is disgusting and he must stp. it does not befit his status
the truth is Kweku Baako believes Anas more than himself. he has vowed to protect Anas' integrity even it means loosing his own and that is what is happening now. Anas did not even tell him the truth of how got the monies to bribe the ple and he is still speaking for him. how can u allow this small boy to take u as his PRO and yet not tell u the truth. U see ur life? small man go chop 3nti. Anas is just using Kweku Baako. though he gives him some of the money, he doesnt tell him the truth of how much he gets from the deals. I will not even defend myself like the way Kweku Baako is defending Anas. it looks like now we dont have to believe anything Kweku says for Anas. I see more apologies coming though. Ken is doing a good job and must continue. I will only advise to be careful with the ple coming to him with information. these coffee shop mafias can be dangerous. Kweku said Ken puting Anas' pictures out there is a murderous intent but I tell u on authority that Anas' masking his face in public is more murderous than anything. My ple we need to think far.
SPONSORED ANAS . THE BATTLE IS STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE LORD'S.GODPUNISH YOU.
ANAS MUST BE JAILED. C O R R U P T SOULS.
