- Almost one hundred football officials across West Africa and Kenya have been caught on camera accepting cash in a sting operation. It’s part of a two-year long undercover investigation by controversial Ghanaian journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
BBC Africa Eye has had exclusive access to the footage for their latest documentary. In one case a World Cup bound assistant referee from Kenya accepted six hundred dollars from a man posing as an official of a Ghanaian premiership team.

Now I’m a fan of this Anas. He is the good side of Africa...Amazing human being.
who has been waiting the whole day for dis
YMOB malik this
waited all day
Anas, Thank you so much for Vindicating Country man Songo. You are indeed a blessing to Africa.
Am hoping he will be investigating Ghana's tertiary institutions, from admission to exams grades to CGPA to final thesis to bloated contracts to long serving lecturers till till till
Collins Acheampong exactly he really have to
Collins Acheampong he has to infiltrate as many sectors as possible
Always look forward to an investigative piece from Anas Aremayaw. He is one of Africa's best reporters.
Can Anas also tell us if there are some officials who rejected the overtures? Surely there are good stories to tell?
We need Anas in Egypt
Anas is like Oliver Queen(Green Arrow). He will expose crime through vigilantism and you wouldn't like his approach, especially those who perpetrated the crime. His expose will pierce your heart like an arrow and you will feel the pain, some may even blame him and call him all sought of names but one fact is, abt 99% people, including myself consider him a hero and if u dont like his method stop corruption ooooooooo tom.
#episode12
First. Thanks Anas. The best thing to happen to Ghana in a long time
Please are you guys going to upload the other half of the video? Cos most people are relying on you guys to upload it as not everybody lives in Ghana ...please please please upload the other half 😩
I wonder why people are so curious as to why so much money was used!! Helloooo, investigative Journalism isn't a cheap one, that's why u don't find every journalist doing it! Ana's and his team are on a completely different level. ..
This is so sad! It’s pure shame and a disgrace to the beautiful game of football. That lawyer talking about inducement is a disgrace and a shame to any justice system. I’m vexed and disappointed.
im sure this is what they did to Bafana , that penalty still gives me horrific flashbacks
May God continue to bless you Anas and He will protect you. You are a gem to our generation!
I wanted to write a synopsis to this as I have been doing on most TH-cam videos, but this is too shocking! I can't get words to explain this. Good Job Anas!
so sad for Africa but again FIFA itself is corrupt what a shame. fans and some players are the real victims here
I am a referee for basketball. This disgusts me at the core. If a ref has even a minor tie to a team he or she should not accept the assignment.
We need the rest of the 2hours vid
Mr. Anas Most High is with you and your Group. ANAS GOD BLESS YOUUUUUUUUUIII WE LOVE YOU, GHANA NEED SEACH A PEOPLE IN ALL OVER THE NATION AND AFRICA
"It's nice when you have friendship"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In Cameroon there are situations where the coach of the opposing team is bribed to play a weak team
Anas good job. I love what your doing. God bless you long life and those who love you will support you in prayers. Anas you are great man.
Good Job Anas! Thank you for what you have been doing! God Bless
Next Ghana police
God bless you Anas. You're the best thing to happen to Africa. Can you please investigate the African Union.. Investigate those greedy bastards over there
This been happening for decades in Africa in general but in sports in particular
This is good for our social and moral canvas. Kudos Ames & Tigereye PI
The investigation costed well above 100, 000 dollars_they should indicate how the investigation was funded!! And for how much did he sale rights to this documentary!
Anas I'm in love with you and your job.. please continue doing the good job and God is the rewarder of soul.. #KUDOS and #Longlive #Anasaremeyaw #Anas. I Love You #Anas..!!!
Simply unbelievable.. Ghana football and Africa football suffering through all these years.. what a shame.
the fact that lawyers are against him is appalling.
Africa needs people like anas thanks bro
Thank you so much for your work. Let’s stamp out corruption in football!!!
this problem is wide spread across the world, speaking as a compulsive better well done Anas, stay safe.
Its really sad & humiliating to be Ghanaian & African, how can we develop as a country & continent if people like this exist
No no no
This happens everywhere in the world its sad but true
The word of God in the scriptures of the Bible is true when it says, the love of money is the ROOT of all kinds of evil in this world.
What was the most difficult part of doing the expose, vis-a-vis the fact that we had been told from time immemorial to bring evidence by these smug football officials and the overwhelming perception that corruption is rife in the game? #AskAnasAnything
Good job Anas, we need brave people like you, corruption in Africa its a Pandemic. Shame on all those criminals sies.
Finally......👌🏾👌🏾🇬🇭
33:30 I am proud of ref Jallow. Gambia
Shameful. This is the reason i stopped watching the local league in Ghana. So much corruption in the game.
pkilo2811 lol. You think there's no corruption in EPL or La Liga?
Adolf Sackey there is but it doesn't mean we should tolerate ours. Just because others are doing doesn't mean we should also do it and not put a stop to it. I love football and it hurts to see that all these matches were fixed. Let us learn to appreciate Anas and what he does for Ghana and Africa as a whole. I need Ghana to be a corruption free country where the people are not being cheated everyday
Who will ignore this offer ???Offers are different than ASKING
You can bribe EVERYONE with the right amount of money. I'm sure that if you put European referees in the same position as African referees they would accept the money too. Why didn't Anas try to bribe referees here in Europe? He would not even be able to pay them since a mere 500 dollar wouldn't pull off the job.
are there any compromised information not to be shown to the public yet?
FIFA has been and probably still is corrupt - Nothing new I’m afraid 😧
about time ....Anas Aremeyaw genius
36:02 "As the law, the giver is as guilty as the receiver." Of course you idiot, but this is a "sting" the giver here is an investigative journalist proving the degree of corruption, not a gangster trying to actually sway the outcome of the game. Well, the journalist might have made some side bets to finance this expose.........but that's not the point! (lol)
That’s the mind set for most Africans
Please Nigeria needs this sort of investigation
Idowu Ayodeji hahahahaha it’ll be interesting seriously
What in everything ?
"The giver is as guilty as the receiver."
I'm a footballer with ambitions and this hurts me greatly. Matter of fact this is the truth about referees in ghana. They do things. Very harmful things that causes some of us great pain. Dissolving the league is a very big blow to we the players. I'm crying now
May God protect you as you do your work.
Anas is my hero
But now I’m sad about FIFA 😭
Like seriously hmmmm Ghana
Bless up Anas
those who took his money not ANAS......ANAS GOD BLESS U!!
More so,viewers should learn from this and perhaps turn from their outlawed ways ,while the culprits involved should go and sin no more...let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone.
#AskAnasAnything... Anas I would love you to investigate about the b.e.c.e and other African exams. And also the posting. Beacuse it really weird
Actually it's a bad to say that publicly but it still I think it needs to be investigated.
Dear Anas, do come to Sierra Leone
Full subtitles are now available for this film - make sure you've turned on subtitles/closed captions in the settings! Thanks for watching.
BBC News Africa please ask anas where he was getting the money that he was giving to those referes and others! Maybe he has a corrupted man financing him to track others
Nyantakyi's savings and loans company needs to be audited to find out the source of its funds. He is clearly experienced and knows how to siphon money meant for the benefits of the clubs and grass roots development of football in Ghana into his own pocket, greed gone on rampage.
we thanks god for seeing more people ...I hope west african ghana is going to hoseit African football as world up coming soon am manafshaibu am going to help me as righht
*after money is exchanged*
Referee: Who are you playing?
Reporter: Arabic people
Ref: I am Arabic??
Rep: No
Ref: Finish!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ES Setif should start an official complaint after watching this
50:12 A very interesting question. It will be answered one day.
Thank God for Anas...I’m hopeful Ghana will be free of corruption with Anas and his team around.They should all go to jail with hard labor.While the poor and the unprivileged goes to jail for nothing.The whole system is messed up,from the Politicians to the Sports teams.WOW THIS IS REALLY A SHAME
We all know that there's nothing that is for free in this world. So when someone approaches you and says that it's for 'T & T' Its obvious that its for something in return. No excuses here. Sad for the passionate football fans like me.......
First to comment. Corruption has killed the game spirit of Ghanaian.
Please come to Nigeria mr. Anas
Lol Dear Ghana With love from Nigeria.
I hope government sets up an agency under Anas to fight corruption
the government is also corrupt
The thing is not full
Unbelievable !
This is why Ghana isn’t in the world cups corrupt greedy officials God bless anas for his work in exposing the corruption in Ghana n the rest of Africa smfh
Ghana vs South Africa match Brought me here
Premiering Anas' face at Camp Nou Stadium, €500 regular and €1000😂
Finally!!!
Finally
The most common theme: THEY DENIED ANY WRONG DOING. Well of course they did.
Good job anas, but my question is why hearts of oak? Please explain.
On a football note, football will not grow in any nation that has corruption in the sport.
2021 and still here
This sums up wat happened to Bafana Bafana in the qualifiers.
is it not an influence by the Anas' team?
if you investigate the health sector, every single soul will be involved. hhhhh have been there. so when will you?
BBC version is missing a lot of footage
Damn.. this shxt is real.. Greeeeeeeeeeed at it best
Thanks BBC thanks Anas✌️
Please investigate Ghana 🇬🇭 vs South Africa 🇿🇦 World Cup Qualifier.
Am not surprised at all. This same Kwesi Nyantakyi came out some time ago saying anyone who brings evidence of bribery will b rewarded gh20,000. Shame on u all.
"I am Arabic?" "No" damn!!!! Bad much!!!
we all should know that these corrupt practices are everywhere.. I'm not saying that it is ok and should, therefore, be overlooked but i mean to draw our atention to the fact ofthese betting companies springing up fast everywhere. do we think our bet stakes dont influece the games?
Oooo anass good u done well thieves in ghana football
What do u expect..west African wit money ts not new
May Allah be your Guide Anas
We need Anas in 9ja. Anas you are guaranteed a place in heaven, please come help us in Nigeria.
Good job anas
So he gave the video to BBC but not any of our local channels to show. Apuu . Masa I don’t really trust this Anas guy
The guy was just on the radio just now in south africa talking about this... yeses corruption in our football.
Anans should come to Nigeria and investigate Nigerian Police and Sars.
GOD BLESS MR. ANAS AND ALL HIS FAMILYS. ANAS IS OPENING GHANIANS EYES. BECAUSE GHANA IS TOO CORRUPTED WHY?
no final thought this time
