Azure's work has always stirred national controversy, notably concerning the Mahama Ford saga. He broke a story in 2016 when the then president,
John Mahama, received a Ford Expedition gift from a Burkinabé contractor. Many groups called for an investigation into the saga. The gift was believed to be a return favour for a contract given to the businessman. The story damaged Mahama's second term bid. In 2019, Azure and Joy FM broadcast a documentary titled "Militia in the heart of the nation" which detailed how a private and unlicensed security group affiliated to the governing
New Patriotic Party operated from the seat of a government annexe, the
Osu Castle. The government denied the story, as expected, but various government spokespersons contradicted one another. The De-Eye group also sued Azure and the media house. The group abandoned the suit when Azure and the Multimedia Group filed their defence. The journalist has however, won similar defamation suits against those he has investigated. == Books ==
