Do you think there is press freedom in Ghana?
Accra-based Metro TV experienced a dramatic invasion on Wednesday, November 27, as armed individuals stormed the premises during a live broadcast.
Staff confirmed that approximately ten officers, reportedly in police uniforms, entered the station, claiming they were pursuing someone. Morning show host Dr. Randy Abbey confronted the officers, leading to a heated exchange.
The situation escalated when Metro TV’s private security tried to prevent the intruders from accessing the studio, resulting in injuries to some guards.
Dr. Abbey, forced to pause his Good Morning Ghana show, described the perpetrators as armed policemen accompanied by others attempting to enforce a court order.
“They injured some private security staff and even tried to seize my car,” he revealed in a video statement.
This incident has raised serious concerns about press safety and the enforcement of court orders.
