A member of journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’
private investigation company Tiger Eye PI, has been rescued by police in the Northern Regional capital Tamale, after he was abducted Saturday morning. Ishmael Hussein, who is now in the care of the
police, was rescued after news of his kidnap
got to the Inspector General of Police, IGP
Mohammed Alhassan. Unconfirmed reports suggest the police have arrested one of the kidnappers with several of them on the run. It is unclear what the motive for the failed kidnap could be, coming on the heels of the widespread corruption exposed in the judiciary by Anas and his team. Police have however commenced investigations into the incident. Ghana’s judiciary is currently under massive
scrutiny as 22 lower court judges who were
captured in Anas’ investigative video allegedly
taking bribes, are being questioned after their
suspension. Some seven out of 12 High Court judges, who
were also implicated, have been suspended by
President John Mahama.
