Anas Aremeyaw Anas has notched yet another feather in his cap as he has won an international award for journalism with the world’s largest prize money.
Anas was awarded the Excellence in Print Journalism award at the 10th KCK Awards for Excellence in Journalism ceremony held in New Delhi, India, on September 17th 2018.
Justice Paul Uuter Dery, one of the justices implicated in the Anas investigative report into judicial corruption who has fought the case all the way to the Supreme Court, has met his final demise as the court has thrown out his case against Anas.
Paul Dery had claimed that Anas’ company, Tiger Eye PI, had no locus to petition the President for his removal from the High Court, attempting to establish that Tiger EYE was not duly registered in the country.
The lawyer for one of the judges implicated in the Anas judicial expose, Justice Paul Uuter Dery, has come out strongly in protest of the decision by the Ghana Journalist’s Association (GJA) to award the investigative journalist with the journalist of the year award.
Anas picked up the award at the awards gala held over the weekend, and Nii Kpakpo Addo, counsel for the Justice, claims it is a huge mistake to award Anas whose conduct in the expose they claim is under investigation.
Justice Paul Uuter Dery, one of the high court judges implicated in the judicial bribery scandal unearthed by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, and who has fought the charges at every turn- says he is being threatened with death for his legal gymnastics.

Justice Paul Uuter Dery has probably filed more petitions than all the other judges combined since this judicial corruption scandal hit this country last year.
Investigative reporter Anas Aremeyaw Anas documented evidence of judges collecting bribes to free criminals, leading to him petitioning the President to investigate the judges. The findings implicated them and most were fired.
It has been months since Anas Aremeyaw Anas shocked all of us with his expose detailing corruption in the judiciary.
It pulled back the lid on what had long been suspected, yet for some of the implicated judges they refuse to back down and own their complicity.
How rich is Justice Paul Dery to be throwing away money this way? Then again, if he is rich, why the corruption allegation?
This man has sued almost everyone in Ghana, with the exception of his own mother and himself. Soon, he may sue himself—and it’s all over Anas’ video which exposes Ghana’s corrupt judicial system.
Ahead of the Accra screening of Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye investigative video in Accra, 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.
Judge Paul Uuter Dery has sued the Accra International Conference Centre and UTV for contempt of court for airing Anas’ investigative piece into the judiciary.
Judge Dery’s suit claims an injunction was placed on the conference centre to stop them from airing the video but they went ahead to air it anyway.
One of the alleged corrupt judges of the High Court-Justice Paul Dery is not joking—he is bent on ensuring that, Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ investigative video which the journalists intends to premiere at the Accra International Conference Centre does not see the day of light. A few days ago we reported that since the immunity granted to journalist-Anas … Read more
