When he was pushed to give the name he declined saying, ‘’at the right time. We will provide the media with the details about the name of the lawyer.<br /> <br /> Some of the issues are currently in court and so I will not disclose some of them but we will soon address the media on them.’’ Meanwhile, he has stated that the statement which has gone viral was indeed from Nyantakyi but was not the full statement.<br /> <br /> According to him, the one who was made to print the statement leaked same at the time Mr Nyantakyi was preparing to release it. He also indicated the video from the Tiger Eye PI was doctored and that the amount given Kwesi Nyantakyi was $40,000 out of the $61,000 travelling cost he incurred for his travels to meet the fake businessmen who deceived him and not a bribe as alleged.<br /> <br /> <b>Portions of statement issued read:</b><br /> <br /> ‘’From voice over commentaries on the video I was reported to have accepted $65,000 in banknotes in October 2017 from a man claiming to be a member of the Qatari Royal Family (the Sheikh) who told me “that the money was for shopping” and that I then thanked the said man, “placed the banknotes into a black plastic bag” but “failed to report this large gift to the GFA” I vehemently deny the same, and wish to state that;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> i. It is completely false that I received $65,000 from a person claiming to be a member of the Qatari Royal Family. ii. It is also completely false that at the time the money was handed to me, I was informed “that the money was for shopping”.<br /> <br /> iii In the context of (ii) above, it is therefore false that I was handed a “large gift”. I have already dealt with the circumstances under which I received the money from the Sheikh. Of key significance however, is the allegation that I received the sum of $65,000.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Travel expenses for the three (3) trips came up to $61,000.00 the breakdown of which is as follows: I. Cost of air ticket for two (2) trips, board and lodging -$10,000.00 II. Cost of first-class air tickets for three others -$26,000.00<br /> <br /> III. Cost of board and lodging for the three others at Burj Arab Hotel Dubai for five days -$25,000.00 Total cost= $61,000.00 I was handed the sum of $40.000 only in eight (8) bundles of US$ 50 banknotes but not $65,000 which both I and the Sheikh’s agent understood to be reimbursement for the travel costs incurred by me, at the Sheikh’s request.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is very easy to confirm how much was given to me from the video tapes. The money was exposed before I was tricked to put in the bag personally. A critical review of the video clip will reveal that when the money was handed to me, there was no mention of shopping.<br /> <br /> A different video has a voice emerging from a faceless speaker saying “shopping for now”. This insertion of an over riding voice was clearly an after thought.<br /> <br /> Based on the agreement with Suale, the $40,000 was a refund and not a gift or bribe. Its disingenuous to purport to donate a gift when the donor owes a lawful debt for cost of travels.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The question that beats my mind is why Tiger Eye lied about the amount of money given to me. Why was the viewing public not allowed to perceive what they saw and heard on the video themselves? Why run commentaries to deceive the viewing public?’’<br /> <br /> <br /> Source: rainbowradioonline.com

Even in schools, you take examination (test) to proof yourself as a good student.<br /> <br />  After <strong>Yeshua (Jesus Christ)</strong> was baptized by <strong>John the Baptist</strong>, Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights in the Judaean Desert. During this time, Satan appeared to Jesus and tried to tempt him. Jesus having refused each temptation, the devil then departed and Jesus returned to Galilee to begin his ministry. Jesus was tempted three times, John the Evangelist in his epistle calls these temptations as "<strong>lust of eyes</strong>" (materialism), "<strong>lust of body</strong>" (hedonism or pursuit of pleasure) and "<strong>pride of life</strong>" (egoism).<br /> <br /> Jesus was tempted (<a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Mark 1:13; Luke 4:1-13</strong></a>), but He never sinned (<a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Hebrews 4:15</strong></a>). Sin occurs when we mishandle temptation. From the book of <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>ACTS 5: 1-11</strong></a>, Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet.<br /> <br /> But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?. Ananias and Sapphira died because they were tempted but they failed. The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot is also attributed to Satan's influence (<a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Luke 22:3; John 13:2</strong></a>). “The Lust of the Flesh, The Lust of the Eyes, and the Pride of Life” – <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>1 John 2:16</strong></a> For everything in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life comes not from the Father but from the world. Testing is the best way to obtaining proof of a Person’s character.<br /> <strong><br /></strong> <strong>Kennedy Ohene Agyapong</strong> is a Ghanaian politician who represents Assin Central in parliament for the New Patriotic Party. Agyapong has vowed to commit suicide if former President John Mahama's brother, Ibrahim, is not jailed by the Akufo-Addo government for some alleged corrupt activities which, according to Agyapong, have led to the state losing money.<br /> <br />  He said on Adom TV's Badwam on Thursday, 30 March 2017 that he would drink poison if Ibrahim were not jailed. Agyapong is also noted for insulting people of higher office. His insults on the Electoral Commissioner of Ghana Charlotte Osei for trading sex for her position as the Electoral Commissioner (EC) boss brought upon him criticisms from various leaders including Queen mothers and human rights activists as well as other members of parliament.<br /> <br />   <strong>Bernard Antwi Boasiako</strong> popularly known as Chairman Wontumi is Ashanti regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). Wontumi, who was former student of Prempeh College and completed in 1996 and continued to a security school in London, believed to own about 100 houses in Kumasi.<br /> <br />  There are many verses in Scripture that talk about temptation and testing. Many are given in the form of warnings, some verses show how Jesus was tested, and then one verse shows one instance where God invites us to test Him with our giving. <br /> <h2> Bible Verses about Temptation</h2> <strong><a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Matthew 6:13</a></strong> And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.<br /> <br /> <strong><a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Matthew 26:41</a></strong> Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Luke 4:13</strong></a> And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Luke 11:4</strong></a> and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Luke 22:40</strong></a> And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>1 Corinthians 7:2</strong></a> But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>1 Corinthians 10:13</strong></a> No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>1 Timothy 6:9</strong></a> But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. <br /> <h2> Bible Verses About Testing</h2> <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Exodus 17:2</strong></a> There- fore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Exodus 20:20</strong></a> Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Deuteronomy 6:16</strong></a> “You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>1 Chronicles 29:17</strong></a> I know, my God, that you test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>2 Chronicles 32:31</strong></a> And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.<br /> <br /> <b>Verses Where God Tests Man</b><br /> <br /> <strong><a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Psalms 26:2</a></strong> Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Jeremiah 9:7</strong></a> Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: “Behold, I will refine them and test them, for what else can I do, because of my people? <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Jeremiah 17:10</strong></a> “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”<br /> <br /> <b>One Verse Where God Welcomes Us To Test Him</b><br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Malachi 3:10</strong></a> Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. Verses Where People Were Testing Jesus<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Matthew 4:7</strong></a> Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Matthew 22:18</strong></a> But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Mark 8:11</strong></a> The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Mark 12:15</strong></a> But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.”<br /> <br />   <a href="https://ghanachurch.com/online-holy-bible/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>John 8:6</strong></a> This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him.

After university he turned down an opportunity to work as a reporter for the Ghanaian Times newspaper, instead choosing to join the Crusading Guide newspaper in 1998. The editor of the newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr, had just been released from jail in the same year.<br /> <br />  Anas Aremeyaw Anas is a Ghanaian investigative journalist born in the late 1970s. Anas's motto is "name, shame and jail", and he is famous for utilizing his anonymity as a tool in his investigative arsenal; very few people had seen his face until an "unmasking" during a BBC interview in November 2015 — and this was a prosthetic. A politically non-aligned multimedia journalist who specializes in print media and documentary, Anas focuses on issues of human rights and anti-corruption in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa.<br /> <br />   <strong>Watch Anas Aremeyaw Anas Unmasked Video:</strong> <video controls="1" height="400" id="tv_newsvideo" poster="https://ghanapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Anas-Aremeyaw-Anas.jpg" width="640"> <source src="https://ghanapa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/anas-unmasked.mp4"></source> Your browser does not support HTML5 video. </video> Anas has won critical acclaim for his work advocating for basic human rights such as the right to not be held in human slavery or servitude and for his work exposing corruption. His investigative works have won him worldwide acclaim, including President Barack Obama highlighting his virtues in a speech during a 2009 visit to Ghana: "An independent press.<br /> <br /> A vibrant private sector. A civil society. Those are the things that give life to democracy. [...] We see that spirit in courageous journalists like Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who risked his life to report the truth." Anas has won more than 17 international awards for his investigative work. He was polled as the fifth most influential Ghanaian in 2011 by e.tv Ghana, and named one of the "Most Influential Africans of the Year" by New African magazine in December 2014.<br /> <br />  Chameleon by Ryan Mullins, a documentary about Anas's life and work, was premiered at the 2014 IDFA festival in Amsterdam. In December 2015 Foreign Policy magazine named Anas one of 2015's leading global thinkers, an honour previously granted to the likes of Barack Obama, Aung San Suu Kyi, Pope Benedict XVI, and Malala Yousafzai.<br /> <br />  In March 2016, Anas was invited by Harvard Law School as a keynote speaker to share his experiences as an international undercover journalist creating change on the continent of Africa in 2016.<br /> <br />  He is consistently invited to talk on his work at gatherings all around the world. In the period from October to December 2016, Anas made his first foray into public life, outside of the world of investigative journalism, as a powerful advocate for peace in his "Anas4Peace" multimedia campaign.<br /> <br /> These films, jingles and interactive social media posts brought together 22 of the most powerful non-alinged Ghanaian celebrities to advocate for peace during the election period.

According to him, it was agreed that the Presidency would have responded to the exposé on the part that concerns President Akufo-Addo a day before or on the day the documentary was to be shown, however, that was not done.<br /> <br /> Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ latest work on sports corruption expected to be shown on June 6, 2018, is a joint project between Tigereye and the BBC.<br /> <br /> However, even before the documentary is shown, there has been a reaction with President Akufo-Addo reporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi to the police for influence peddling and defrauding by false pretense using his [Akufo-Addo] name based on evidence captured in the documentary.<br /> <br /> Nyantakyi saga: Presidency breached confidentiality – Baako Explaining the circumstances that led to the breach of confidentiality on Metro TV’s Good Morning television discussion programme Thursday, Mr Baako, the Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper said it was for ethical reasons that they couldn’t go and put out the documentary without giving President Akufo-Addo an opportunity to view and respond.<br /> <br /> That, he said, would have been “criminally irresponsible so that opportunity was offered him [Akufo-Addo].<br /> <br /> <br /> “We knew that the project was not complete and the time it would be outdoored to the public, the date had been stated as 6th June.”<br /> <br /> “Let me be honest, the President [Akufo-Addo] watched some few minutes, about 5 minutes or so of the video project, those portions that concern the president.”<br /> <br /> I had my own difficulty with how things have unfolded - Kweku Baako. Adding, Mr Baako said there was a certain confidentiality agreement that they had reached with the President, “I think people are reading so much into it, there was no formal written agreement, it was more or less a gentleman’s agreement between the two sides, the President on one side and the Tigereye cum BBC on the other side.”<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He said the two sides agreed to let the president watch those portions that concern him and interview him for his reaction since it was all part of the investigative process, “and they graciously agreed, and it was also good for the other side so that nobody gets hints of what was coming.”<br /> <br /> “It appears that what triggered the presidential intervention or response was that on Kwami Sefa Kayi’s show [Kokrokoo] on Tuesday he dropped a hint that the president had been mentioned, the vice president too had been mentioned and that gave the impression that we too were breaching that confidentiality because Kwami was perceived as being part of us, I [Baako] might have told Kwami so how did he get to know and why did he drop it?<br /> <br /> “And then that particular disclosure was picked up by various people, social media ….as if that meant the president was guilty or implicated, so that triggered their response, very unfortunate, I’m disappointed but I understand. I debated, I protested, they made their case, I evaluated and I realized that well here is a situation you have a whole president, he had given his word, he will keep cool till the day or two before and then suddenly out there, its been said that he was mentioned, it’s a huge office and he has also got integrity, which for me is indestructible…, so they reacted and that reaction changed the dynamics.<br /> <br /> “Indeed I can tell you that the BBC is disappointed that this happened. I was disappointed, Anas disappointed because none of us knew that there was going to be a response, I got to know after the event had taken place.”<br /> <br /> Mr Baako added that Mr Sefa Kayi himself has conceded.<br /> <br /> Showing Anas exposé to Akufo-Addo before public wrong – Alban Bagbin<br /> <br /> “I read also and in this case, it is a very experienced politician Mr [Alban] Bagbin saying that it was wrong for the President to have viewed it before, incredible, absolutely incredible. If he [Bagbin] were to be in that situation, would he be happy if this thing was put out there before your response is solicited, would he be happy. Even the ethics alone compelled the investigators to give the President that option of watching and in any case, it was not as if he watched all the video," Mr Kweku Baako said.<br /> <br /> The emphasis is on football, this is about football corruption…it so happens that in the course of the investigations, the GFA boss is captured peddling influence to the extent of mentioning political people in the political establishment then the mixture of politics and football came in, otherwise the focus is on football.”<br /> <br /> Mr Baako reiterated that letting the President see it and ask for his reaction is part of the investigative process and that if the president had not been mentioned nobody will go and give him the chance to watch anything, because it would be unnecessary, needless. And it is required, ethics of us to give him the chance… and I’m surprised that an experienced politician is canvassing the option that no, somebody who is mentioned in a negative way during an investigation should not be given the chance.<br /> <br /> "I’m surprised that whatever it is, the matter has moved one stage relative to a personality, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi. The many other characters and actors in that project whose time will come and if indeed the relevant authorities think that what they involved in amounted to some violation or infraction of the law," he addeBC disappointed; Sefa Kayi breached confidentiality - Baako<br /> <br /> Source: Graphic.com.gh<br /> <div> <br /></div>

We will entreat Ghanaians to be calm and allow the legally mandated security agencies to complete investigations. Anyone found culpable in this investigation will be made to face the full rigours of the law”.<br /> <br /> <b>Repeat offender?</b><br /> <br /> This is not the first time the GFA President has been accused of being involved in some nefarious activities.<br /> <br /> British newspaper The Telegraph and Channel, in June 2014, accused the GFA and Kwesi Nyantakyi of being involved in some shady deals to fix international friendly matches for the senior national football team, the Black Stars.<br /> <br /> The newspaper claimed that “the President of Ghana’s Football Association agreed for the team to play in international matches that others were prepared to rig.”<br /> <br /> World football governing body, FIFA, referred the matter back to the GFA’s Ethics Committee after its preliminary investigation but announced it would “continue to monitor the investigations and any future proceedings.”<br /> <br /> The Ethics Committee eventually cleared Kwesi Nyantakyi, of any wrongdoing.<br /> <br /> However, the Committee revealed that it was necessary to conduct further investigations into two others implicated in the scandal, Obed Nana Kwame Nketiah and Mr Christopher Forsythe.<br /> <br /> Source: citinewsroom.com
