Dery "can't think far" about Anas Aremeyaw's award

Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas at GJA 21st award ceremony at the Banquet Hall in Accra adjudged the overall best journalist for 2015.

 

According to a statement signed by lawyer for Justice Dery,  "the Supreme Court of this Nation has stated that the actions of Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI are unlawful in respect of showing that video to the general public, were unconstitutional and a slap in the face of common sense."

"There are ongoing court proceedings and you still go ahead saying you are awarding the person? It is wrong! It is actually in contempt of court. Even if we don’t say anything at all, it’s a shame!” he said.
