Investigative firm Tiger Eye Private Investigations (Tiger Eye PI) has accused former Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kwesi Nyantakyi of peddling misinformation and disinformation about the landmark Number 12 corruption investigation, describing his latest claims as deceptive and misleading.
In a press release dated 6 January 2026, Tiger Eye PI said it had taken note of what it described as “yet another frantic attempt” by Nyantakyi to distort facts surrounding one of the most consequential investigations in African football history.
The firm clarified that its founder and CEO, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, did not have a personal case against Nyantakyi in court, stressing that the criminal proceedings were between the Republic of Ghana and Kwesi Nyantakyi, in which the former football administrator faced multiple charges, including fraud.
“It is therefore bizarre — though not unusual — that Mr. Nyantakyi continues to misrepresent the matter as ‘Anas vs Nyantakyi,’” the statement said.
Tiger Eye PI explained that Anas had initially agreed to testify as a prosecution witness after its lead investigator, Ahmed Suale — who played a central role in the Number 12 exposé — was murdered following threats allegedly linked to Mr. Nyantakyi.
However, the firm said Anas later declined to testify after the trial judge ruled that he must appear in court without a mask, a decision Tiger Eye PI argued would have exposed him to grave danger, particularly given that Ahmed Suale’s murder remains unresolved.
The investigative outfit stressed that Anas’ willingness to testify was strictly contingent on guarantees of his safety, including maintaining his anonymity, a position it described as “non-negotiable.”
Addressing the collapse of the criminal case, Tiger Eye PI rejected suggestions that Mr. Nyantakyi had been vindicated, stating that the case was withdrawn by the Attorney-General despite what it described as overwhelming evidence of fraud, impersonation, and other criminal conduct.
“Nyantakyi was not acquitted on the merits,” the statement said, adding that the case collapsed solely because of a prosecutorial decision to discontinue proceedings following Anas’ withdrawal as a witness.
Tiger Eye PI further cited FIFA’s disciplinary action against Mr. Nyantakyi, noting that world football’s governing body found him guilty of misconduct, imposed a US$500,000 fine, and handed him a lifetime ban — later reduced to 15 years — which also cost him his positions as a FIFA executive council member and GFA president.
According to the firm, these sanctions affirm that the decision by Ghanaian authorities to drop criminal charges lacked justification.
The statement also revealed that Mr. Nyantakyi had previously filed a defamation and breach-of-privacy suit against Anas but later abandoned the case. Tiger Eye PI criticised what it described as his choice to instead “litigate in the court of public opinion,” alongside outspoken politician Kennedy Agyapong.
“If he is credible, he should return to court,” the firm said.
While acknowledging that Mr. Nyantakyi may be seeking to rehabilitate his public image, Tiger Eye PI insisted that history cannot be rewritten through “lies, distortions, or propaganda,” urging the public to disregard what it termed his latest attempt at deception.
The investigative firm reaffirmed its commitment to fighting corruption, pledging to continue its work under its long-standing mandate to “Name, Shame, and Jail.”
