Anas Aremeyaw Anas, better known as Anas, is a Ghanaian investigative journalist born in the late 1970s. His motto is “name, shame, and jail”.

He utilizes his anonymity as a tool in his investigative arsenal; this has made him very popular in West Africa where most of his investigation is based. Very few people have seen his face until an “unmasking” during a BBC interview in November 2015 — and this was a prosthetic. Anas is a politically non-aligned multimedia journalist who has specialized in print media and documentaries.

He focuses on issues of human rights and anti-corruption in Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa. In December 2015 Foreign Policy magazine named Anas one of 2015’s leading global thinkers, and he has been invited to talk about his work at international conferences. In 2016 Anas had a “Best Journalist” award named after him by the Press Foundation in Ghana.
