Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Ghana Information Minister paid a surprise visit to the two journalists who were allegedly assaulted by National Security operatives on Tuesday.
According to Mr. Oppong Nkrumah, his visit to the station on Friday, 14 May 2021, is to sympathize with the two victims and offer his assurance that further investigations will be conducted into the matter.
“As a colleague and as a Minister for the sector, I came by this morning to pay you a visit and also to express to you the worry with which we receive the account on what transpired at the National Security. We were worried because it does not reflect how the staff of a security agency should treat anybody, be the person a citizen, let alone a journalist”, he said.
“If that person is under investigation, assisting an investigation or being suspected as having done something untoward like, in this case, the suspicion of going contrary to the rules there, it still will not warrant that particular conduct as reported,” Mr. Nkrumah said.
Last Tuesday, National Security operatives detained Caleb Kudah for allegedly filming a no-photography area while at the premises of the National Security Ministry.
