Editor dares government to confirm or deny robbery story

The Crusading Guide says its Editor-in-Chief, Mr Kweku Baako Jnr., has challenged the NDC government to come out and confirm or deny the paper?s publications on the ?infamous and unprecedented? highway robbery of 2.4 billion cedis worth of unrefined gold, involving Jack Bebli, formerly of the Police Commandos.

The paper says the challenge was thrown by Mr Kweku Baako when contributing to a "Radio Gold" programme "Rejoinder" to the effect that the publications on the gold robbery by the Crusading Guide had been unprofessional and therefore unfair and untrue, more so when the security agencies have not finished with their investigations into the matter.

The Crusading Guide says Mr Kweku Baako in his challenge, also urged the government to take the paper to court if the series of stories it had published on the gold robbery were lies.

"I?m challenging anybody and everybody in the system to come forward and say that I lied and if they are right, they can take me to court. It is a challenge that I am throwing to the entire government of Ghana", he is quoted as saying.
