Celebrated investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has publicly articulated his unwavering commitment to fearlessly pursue truth.
Speaking at the Disrupt Lab event in Germany, Anas declared that he is not afraid to die.
“Fear, I was purged of fear long ago and I am a Muslim. I believe that if you die, you are dead and gone and that it is Allah’s will that you should die,” he noted.
He also stated that one thing he fears is to die without making any impact.
“And if there is anything I hate, it is that I don’t want to die a coward. I want to die fighting for the right things in society,” he stressed.
The style of journalism practiced by Anas has frequently resulted in threats on his life and on individuals close to him.
His investigative team, Tiger Eye PI, has not yet received conclusive answers regarding the death of one of its crucial members, Ahmed Hussein Suale, who was fatally shot in 2019.
The demise occurred several months following the release of the ‘Number 13’ documentary, which uncovered corruption in football politics at the local, national, and continental levels.
Anas has traditionally focused his work on anti-corruption, as well as human rights and social justice issues.
He recently suggested that he would unveil a startling documentary in January 2024, but has maintained silence regarding the specific subject matter of the film.
His most recent release was the second installment of a documentary on illegal small-scale mining, commonly referred to as galamsey.
