A Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr Okyere Ankrah has called on the Police to deal decisively with the Morning Show host of Wontumi Radio in Kumasi Oheneba Nana Asiedu.
Oheneba Nana Asiedu was invited by the Police after a video of him disinforming the public about the 2024 elections went viral on social media.
After his visit to the Ashanti Regional Police command, he was subsequently arrested for publishing false news and will be arraigned to serve as a deterrent to many. He was arrested for offences including publication of false news contrary to section 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
Speaking to Accra-based OKAY FM, Dr Okyere Ankrah indicated that this issue must not be taken lightly.
