Justice Paul Derby Stops the Screening of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Corrupt Judges Video in Kumasi

For the first time, Justice Paul Derby who has been suing left, center and right has achieved something—a temporal result.

Ahead of the Accra screening of Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye investigative video in Accra last month, Justice Paul Dery, one of the 34 judges alleged in the video as corrupt for taking bribe on camera sued. He sued the Accra International Conference Centre, Anas and his team and outlets like Starr Fm and their bosses.

At the time, the ‘disgraced’ judge brought the suit against the Director of Estates and General Services at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Manager of the Accra International Conference Centre and the Attorney General.

The judge in his suit argued that, if Anas Aremeyaw Anas is allowed to premiere this video on the 22 and 23 September as scheduled, he would suffer prejudice and irreparable damage should it later be found that the contents of the investigative work were unlawfully obtained—and as such, he wants the court to restrain those mentioned names so the showing does not take place.

Nothing came out of it—and the Accra screening of the video took place.

The same video was scheduled to be premiered today at Kumasi’s Golden Tulip Hotel and Justice Paul Derby sued again. This time, JOY FM says, “Justice Dery filed an application for interlocutory injunction in the Kumasi High Court.

He wants the Kumasi branch of Golden Tulip, Ultimate Radio, and Tiger Eye PI to be restrained from screening a video in which some 34 judges and about 100 judicial staff and police officers were allegedly caught receiving bribes to pervert justice.

The Kumasi-based radio station is running advertisements of Tiger Eye PI, the company of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas which filmed the alleged briberies”

And he has gotten the desired results—the screening has been put on hold to avoid any contempt of court.

Anas Aremeyaw Anas took to his facebook to say:

“Dear all,
We have just been served with a writ here in Kumasi seeking to injunct us from the Ashanti Regional screening of “Ghana In The Eyes Of God”.

I want to tell the great people of Kumasi that I am terribly sorry for this development. I will urge all all of you who have travelled from far and near for this eventful night here In the Garden city to remain calm, we are putting measures in place for another day. Sorry for any inconvenience once more. Let’s all join hands in enhancing our democracy.
Thank you”
