In a post sighted on Facebook, the undercover journalist indicated that ,in the wake of the documentary he observed many have seen their businesses closed, dreams chattered while some have lost their lives through activities of these guards.
He posted: “For over 6 months, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the Tiger Eye team worked as drivers and traders in Accra’s Central Business District. They monitored the activities of City Guards and many who were engaged in cases of abuse of power and the taking of bribes from some hawkers and drivers who didn’t have permits.
“These guards did not issue receipts, nor did they take the perpetrators through any official procedures. They pocketed the monies. What else did they do? Watch out for the full documentary.”
