The information reportedly got to Amidu in his work as Special Prosecutor, finally confirming that Anas Aremeyaw Anas is not an adopted name but the name given at birth to the journalist.

Mr. Amidu accused Anas Aremeyaw of working as an undercover agent of the government.

“Anas Aremeyaw Anas, son of Anas Mahama and Mariama Damba, and brother of Karimatu Anas and Ummul Kulsum Anas is a Government undercover agent working covertly for this Government of Ghana since 11 September 2017”.

This comes after the journalist came under heavy criticism for announcing Galamsey Economy video featuring a Lawyer, a Chief and Minister Charles Adu-Boahen but failed to show the first two as advertised.

Many hundreds of patrons walked out of the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) on Monday night with disappointment and questions for Anas.

A week before the premiere of the Galamsey Economy Video, Tiger Eye PI announced what people should expect in the exposé but that was not what happened as the chief and lawyer were edited out.

WE WILL DEAL WITH YOU MERCILESSLY – DEFENCE MINISTER WARNS ‘KONKOMBA-DAGOMBA WAR MONGERS’
November 9, 2021

The Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul has assured the King of Dagbon, Ya-Naa Abukari II that the country’s security forces will deal with any individual or persons who attempt to cause any trouble in Dagbon in particular and the Northern Region at large.

The minister also assured the king of the security and peace of the Dagbon State.

His assurance comes following recent tensions between Konkombas and Dagombas that have sparked fears of a possible tribal conflict between the two tribes.

Over the past weeks, there has been widespread tensions among citizens of Dagbon after audio recording went viral on social media on how the Konkomba community was allegedly planning to attack the Dagbon Kingdom.

The said recordings, from persons believed to be either Konkombas or Dagombas usually claim that the Konkombas are planning to launch an attack on the capital of the Dagbon State, Yendi to take over the town and breakaway from Dagbon.

However, the Defense Minister who is also the Member of Parliament for Bimbilla and a Konkomba himself, dispelled such rumors, noting that the security forces countenance any such move.

He was speaking at the Gbewaa Palace, where a high powered security meeting on the matter just ended, Tuesday evening.

Also at the meeting were the Yaa Naa’s security chiefs including the Kumbung-Naa, Diyeli lana and Tolon Naa.

The Gushe-Naa, Nanton Naa, Kari-Naa among other revered chiefs, Dagbon MPs, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, the Police, Members of the Konkomba Youth Association (KOYA) and Dagbon Forum (DF) were also present at the meeting.

Mr Nitiwul assured of an increased level of security presence in the Northern Region.

He tasked the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Security Councils to start sensitization meetings with residents across the region on the need for peaceful co-existence.
