Editor in Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jr. apologizes to Ghanaians. Furthermore, this is\u00a0for his implications that the \u2018Number 12\u2019 documentary was a collaboration between the BBC and Tiger Eye PI.<\/p>\n

Moreover, his apology comes on the back of BBC’s statement.<\/p>\n

Therefore, this statement led to immense criticism from Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

According to him, they worked with three people who have worked with the BBC for close to four decades. Therefore, he assumed they were still with the BBC. He clarified this on Kokrooko on Peace FM.<\/p>\n

Kweku Baako on misleading facts about BBC collaboration<\/h4>\n

\u201cI had said so publicly that it was a joint project . . . why I said so was because the people who were dealing with Anas three of them I know for the last 30 to 40 years were BBC people. Apparently, they\u2019ve left BBC but they\u2019re part of the technical team. They came to me, I dealt with them on so many things . . . so I assumed.<\/em><\/p>\n

So I was wrong . . . and that is why the BBC made Anas to go on air to clear the misconception\u2026I accept responsibility for what I put out there and if people got deceived I apologize.<\/em><\/p>\n

I said so because I just thought it was the truth I was putting out . . . whatever it is, Kweku Baako takes full responsibility for that misrepresentation or misinformation I put out there, and I sincerely apologize.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
