The video, which was broadcast by the BBC, has however, been refuted by Salisu Yussuf, who insists the money he received qualifies as a gift rather than a bribe.
He explained to the BBC that the cash was $750 and not $1,000, as reported by Anas and his Tiger Eye PI team, adding that the money did not even influence his tea selection.
Anas’ “Number 12” exposé caused a major storm in Ghana football, leading to the resignation of GFA boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi and other officials.
