President has, in the strongest terms, condemned the recent assaults on journalists by security personnel, describing the incident as "unacceptable".

He has subsequently ordered immediate investigations into the matter, especially the alleged assault on JoyNews reporter, Carlos Calony, by soldiers who supervised a demolition exercise.

He has specifically ordered the Minister for Defence and the National Security Coordinator to commence immediate investigations into the incident, which has since gone viral on social and mainstream media.

President Mahama gave the order at a ceremony to swear in the last four deputy ministers who have been approved by parliament.
