Since 2019, Edward Adeti has been evasive. That year, a young investigative journalist from Ghana discovered that a Chinese mining company had colluded with a high-ranking court official to have a case involving gold theft from an Australian mine in northern Ghana dismissed. Once Adeti learned about the upcoming story, a government minister who was close to the judge in question called him, offering to pay him to stop writing it. The minister eventually resigned in April 2019 as a result of Adeti recording their talk and leaking it together with the article in the Daily Dispatch, the publication he worked for. The journalist’s life has been threatened ever since, and as a result, he and his family had to leave their Bolgatanga home, which is some 768 kilometers (477 miles) from Accra, the country’s capital.
