The Municipal Chief Executive for Ga South Assembly, Joseph Nyarni Stephen, has allegedly assaulted two journalists following a confrontation on Friday, December 6, 2024.

The reporter stated that during the confrontation between the police officers and the soldiers, who resorted to cocking their guns upon sighting the police, the MCE turned up at the scene and took offense at their attempt to capture videos of the confrontation. "The MCE said he wouldn't allow the recording.
He was engaged in a confrontation with a colleague journalist, and the next thing I saw was him turning his anger on me and giving me a blow," he stated.
