Adomonline.com sources close to the Investigative Journalist who is currently in Norway, said he issued the command after a member of the team, Ismail Hussein was kidnapped by persons believed to have been contracted by one of the judges implicated in the video on judicial corruption.
More than 50 team members of Tigereye PI are believed to be scattered across the ten regions of the country and their movement to Accra starts with immediate effect.
The movement is to help deal with the safety of the team members.
24 old year old Ishmael Hussein who was taken hostage by unknown persons has also been freed by the police.
It is not clear yet the motive for his seizure but there are fears it may be linked to the recent bribery scandal that has hit the judiciary.
Hussein was part of the crack team of undercover investigators whose audio-visual evidence has brought Ghana's judiciary under scrutiny.
About 34 judges from the high and lower courts, over 100 court clerks, state attorneys and personnel from the police service have been captured on camera allegedly taking bribes to subvert the course of justice.
Seven of the High court judges have been suspended after a prima facie case was
established against them.
Some 22 lower court judges have also been suspended pending the conclusion of hearings by a committee set up by the Chief Justice.
The legal processes have begun with Anas and his team of investigators submitting themselves to cross examination by the accused persons.
There are fears that the seizure of Ishmael Hussein could jeorpardize the process.
The Tamale police have therefore been alerted to investigate the matter.
