According to the independent investigative journalist, he had seen the raw video that did not have voice narration, but the second video was edited with voice narration.
Manasseh Azure Awuni wrote on her Facebook timeline: “I realized there was something weirder about this video. In this video, the one who led the Hajia to meet Nana Akufo-Addo is heard pleading on behalf of one Alhaji Abass. The discussion about the party people who wanted Alhaji out did not appear at all. So, I went to the Facebook pages of those who first shared the 15 minute raw video without the voiceover or narration.
“I noticed they had removed the original videos and uploaded this new one that had the voiceover and what appears to be an insert of the speaker’s voice to match the narration that the money was sent as a bribe in 2017. to make sure Alhaji Abass was kept in the office.
“The theme of campaign shirts has also been removed from this new one. You will also notice that 40,000 was mentioned in the first, but there was no denomination. But in the second video that is circulating, it says “.
Manasseh Azure Awuni stated that the conversation in the new video flows more naturally.
He said that when Baffour Awuah found out about the shirts, he intervened and said that he would go to Kumasi the next day and that he had to send the shirts to support the (PNP) candidate in Asawase who urgently needed support in his country. Bell. “Nana Akufo-Addo agreed that I should send them to her.”
“We should ask the creators of the video why they removed the originals they shared on November 30.”

Veteran journalist Kweku Baako Jnr had previously said that the person who secretly recorded the viral video of then-candidate Nana Akufo-Addo taking the $ 40,000 cash in a brown envelope is one Salis Yakubu Atsuluho from ‘The Salis journal.’ .
Baako revealed that he introduced said Salis Yakubu Atsuluho to Anas Aremeyaw Anas of the New Crusader Guide and Tiger Eye PI fame.
He said the video was recorded in October 2016 when Nana Akufo-Addo, who was then the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (PNP), sought to overthrow former President John Dramani Mahama.
Kweku Baako Jnr. explained on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show on Wednesday that the video recordings are two: one is fake and the other is original, but both videos contain similar or the same scenes.
“I just don’t know how I feel,” Baako admitted, “This gentleman, Salis Yakubu Atsuluho, is the guy behind The Salis newspaper. The guy who made the secret recording of candidate Akufo-Addo. “
“Look, this is a boy [that] I influenced his entry on ‘Tiger Eye PI’, that’s why I said I don’t know how I feel; and in four, five months, Anas fired him. “
