Anas Aremeyaw Anas has admonished former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, to tone down in his attacks against him.<\/p>\n

The Citizen Vigilante, as he is affectionately called, Martin Amidu, has in his recent epistles lashed out at the investigative journalist, Anas, describing his Tigereye PI team as \u00a0“dummy” and “fraudulent\u201d.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”BtkKbfpXeqiDOrY4nKjEmihoPzkxg3Vp”]He has also accused government of commissioning Anas\u2019 recent expos\u00e9 on the judiciary adding that he colluded with government to\u00a0suppress parts of the truth, which could indict some corrupt politicians in the country.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0Anas has refuted the claims by Mr. Amidu, urging him to hold his fire since the attacks would not help in anyway.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Amidu, you have been a symbol of the anti-corruption fight. The light of your candle has probably blazed and radiated our path. Kindly rest, assured that our work does not seek, in any way, to dim or diminish your glow and radiance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recommend to you the deeply reflective eternal words of the American clergyman, James Keller that \u2018a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.\u2019 We add our own words, that the brightness of your candle is not in any way reduced when another lighted candle is brought into the room. You have done a great job. History will be kind to you. Don\u2019t pick a fight in an empty room. Don\u2019t allow an ill-advised, unfortunate, unnecessary and regrettable hubris to destroy it.\u201d<\/p>\n
