Captain Smart, the controversial radio host has vowed to continue performing his duty as a credible journalist with boldness focused on holding government and politicians accountable for their regrettable actions. However, despite being suspended for a month for being too harsh on Ghana’s number 1 personality President Nana Akufo-Addo and other high-profile personalities including Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the Inspector-General of Police. Interacting with Paul Adom-Otchere on Good Evening Ghana on Thursday, 6 May 2021, Captain Smart explained that his month-long suspension from Accra-based Angel FM was as a result of numerous calls received by his media owner from people he described as high-profile personalities who felt offended because of his utterances on air. Meanwhile, he said the suspension won’t shot his mouth up whenever he sees any nonsense going on in the country, he would continue to talk. “Any day, any time, if there is any nonsense going on in this country, I will rise and talk”, Captain Smart vowed. I will keep shouting, I will keep pointing the mistakes”, he said. “If you’re a politician, it is your responsibility to either like me or hate me”. “And until we begin to do that, we can never ever save this country,” he said. The Director of Operations for Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN) further noted that “I’m not afraid, I’m not worried, I’m not perturbed”.

Anas condemns threats on journalists; demands state protection for Manasseh, others
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas of Tiger Eye P.I. is asking state authorities and other agencies to ensure that media personnel who continue to receive death threats are given immediate protection. He is also demanding justice for his colleague journalist who was gruesomely murdered in the line of duty. Anas’ call comes in the wake of recent complaints of threats and attacks on some journalists in the country. He particularly mentioned, Manasseh Azure Awuni, Edward Adeti, Afia Pokuaah, Captain Smart, Abdul Hayi Moomen, David Tamakloe among others as some persons whose lives must be protected by security agencies. In a statement, the Tiger Eye P.I boss condemned the attacks describing them as “barbaric and backward” adding that, “it is a terrible thing to practice journalism under conditions such as these, and it is even dangerous when nothing is done, and the perpetrators get to carry out their threats.” He has thus charged government, security forces, the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) and the National Media Commission (NMC) to decisively probe into the incident and ensure that the perpetrators regaled of their social class are arrested made to face the full rigours of the law. “Tiger Eye P.I calls on the government to condemn these threats and careless utterances be it from a lawmaker, a government official or opposition groups in the strongest terms yet. The security agencies must proactively investigate the sources of death threats and arrest the criminals. The security agencies should not be seen or be used to perpetuate any such attacks or intimidation. We appeal to the National Media Commission and Ghana Journalist Association to do more, particularly in engaging political parties and journalists who pursue public interest journalism”, the statement added. While solidarizing with his affected media colleagues, Anas also recounted the death of his former team member, Ahmed Suale and maintained that never again should any journalist be made to suffer such a horrible experience. “The murder of Ahmed Suale is still fresh on the minds of all journalists and sympathisers in this country. No journalist in the country can survive the bullets of their assassins if ever they become targets.” Find below his statement Citinewsroom Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
