2 HOURS AGO
IMANI Africa President, Franklin Cudjoe, has blasted the National Security Ministry for the arrest and subsequent assault of Citi FM/TV’s Broadcast Journalist, Mr. Caleb Kudah.
According to him, the reason behind the action by the operatives of the National Security make no sense.
“I think the lawyers are dealing with the illegal and unlawful acquisition and the entry of personal effects in this matter but what surprises me is National Security’s reason for the arrest of Caleb Kudah because it is as farcical as it comes. I thought the National Security should be concerned that the parked vehicles obviously were a nuisance to the state and the fact that monies have been expended to purchase these vehicles as they lie down wasting away.”
Information Minister Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah says the alleged assault on Citi FM s journalist, Caleb Kudah, and subsequent invasion of the station s premises by National Security operatives is a test case for the National Media Commission’s new Secretariat to investigate.
The government recently commissioned a new secretariat to receive and validate complaints of attacks on media practitioners in Ghana and advocate their rights and freedoms.
The Secretariat, known as the National Coordinated Mechanism on the Safety of Journalists, is a centre for media practitioners to report issues of intimidation and harassments in their line of duty for investigation.
Mr Caleb Kudah was arrested on the premises of the Ministry of National Security on Tuesday, May 11, 2021, for filming within the precincts of the security installation.
