Anas who is a household name when it comes to investigative journalism in Ghana has over 20 works to his name. He has done investigative pieces both locally and internationally.

He has described the aim of his undercover journalism to name, shame, and jail.

Currently, his most controversial exposure can be said to be his undercover work unraveling a culture of corruption within Ghana’s judiciary.

That expose showed court workers conspiring with a number of respected judges to influence court cases through bribes.

Over 30 judges and magistrates were caught on camera receiving bribes to free suspects on charges for crimes like murder, rape, and drug trafficking,

Subsequently, a disciplinary committee of the Judicial Council was set up to investigate the revelations.

The disciplinary committee of the Judicial Council questioned more than 100 members of staff after Anas submitted a petition and evidence of bribery.

The Council unanimously decided to remove 20 out of the 21 Judges and Magistrates cited in the petition from office on December 7, 2015.
