Private legal practitioner, Samson Lardy Anyenini has said some individuals have tried to bribe ace investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni to drop stories of alleged corrupt act against them.
Mr. Anyenini said “people with deep pockets” on several occasions have not only tried to influence the journalist to drop stories of corrupt acts leveled against them but they have as well on different occasions threatened to take off the investigative journalist’s life if he go ahead with his investigative piece.

Lawyer Anyenini recounting his fatal car crash which nearly sent him to his early grave said he was promised a brand new car if he could influence Manasseh to drop an investigative story.
“When I had the accident that almost killed me recently and my car was declared completely written off. A car with sufficient gadgets that you thought would have safely protected no matter what, came flattened and by God’s grace I survived. Around that time, Manasseh was about to release yet another corruption scandal about how the nation was being robbed, daylight robbery. I got contacted and the first words were, oh you just had an accident and your car is spoiled beyond repair. You know what we will give you a new one. Just tell him [Manasseh] to drop this story. And I said well, my car is comprehensively insured, I will get another one”
Lawyer Anyenini made this remark during the 5th (52nd) quadrennial conference of Upper East regional chapter of Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) held in Bolgatanga.
