A District Court in Kade in the Eastern Region has issued an ex-parte injunction ordering three media outlets in Asuom to cease operations until the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assesses their noise levels and permits them to continue broadcasting.
The injunction follows a lawsuit filed by Nana Boadi Amponim Obodade III (Krontihene of Asuom), Nana Deibour II (Kyidomhene of Asuom), and Abusuapanin Abosi Aniagyei against Esewani Radio, Esewani Information Centre, and Sir Plans Information Centre over alleged noise pollution.
The plaintiffs claim that the activities of the defendants cause public nuisance, negatively affecting residents.
They are seeking an order compelling the defendants to adhere to regulations governing information centres in the area.
