Meanwhile, Executive Director of The Press Foundation, TPF, Listowell Yesu Bukarson has described the murder of a member of the Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger PI team as “shameful” calling it “a massive attack on journalism”.

“This attack and killing is not one on just Tiger Eye PI but the practice of journalism in Ghana”. He said.
