Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abudul-Malik Kweku Baako has apologized to angry Ghanaians who might have thought that he had misinformed them on the Anas’ number 12 expose.
Speaking on Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokroko’ hosted by Nana Yaw Kese, Kweku Baako had rendered an unqualified apologize to Ghanaians who claimed he lied to them about BBC playing a role in the current exposé by Investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on corruption in Ghana football Association (GFA).
Mr. Kweku Baako was said to have been expose by a British broadcaster on BBC last Monday after falsehood claims that they (BBC) have collaborated with the undercover Journalist in his recent investigation titled number 12.
The British broadcaster had said “Mr. Anas is not a BBC Journalist; we did not work with him during his investigation or commission him to carry out this investigation”.
Kweku Baako accepted he did say BBC played a role in Anas’ current investigation publicly on Metro TV during a discussion.
“I had said so publicly… why I said so was because, there were three people dealing with Anas that I know about 30-40 years are with the BBC but are no more with BBC, apparently are part of the technical team, they came to me, I dealt with them on so many things”.
Adding, he said, “I had assumed and said so publicly, there were a lot of arrangement and collaboration between them ,I have gone to the extreme of saying they help him”.
He further stated that he was wrong in doing that “I was wrong, that is why BBC asked Anas to go on air to say that it is not true and Anas has cleared the air”
He then apologized to the t public about any inconvenience his statement might have caused since some of them took to social media to express their feeling about his statement.
“And if people got deceived, I apologize, I apologize, because I said that publicly about 3-4 times on air, I said so because I thought it was the truth I was putting out and I sincerely apologize, he remorsefully said.
He accepted the fact that he was as fallible as any other human and hence the need for him to render apology to society when found guilty’
