“Amadator was reportedly picked up from his home at around 3 a.m. last Friday. He was handcuffed and taken to the Signals Bureau, where he was questioned primarily about the source of the video he had published online. He later removed the video from his platform,” the post said.

Gossips24 added that the blogger was released and asked to report on November 18, which he did, at which point he was detained once again and reportedly has yet to be released.

Number 12 was an investigative documentary produced by the legendary Ghanaian investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, of Tiger Eye PI.

The documentary, which focused on the level of corruption in the Ghana Premier League, premiered in 2018. It collapsed the administration of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, and led to widespread changes in the administration of the game in Ghana.
