Private legal practitioner, Kwame Jantuah, has strongly condemned the attack of an eyewitness and the arrest of journalist of Multimedia Group Ltd by military officers during a live report on the McDan warehouse demolition exercise.
He described the act as senseless, unjustifiable, and a violation of the right of the eyewitness and the journalist.
Speaking on TV3's New Day on Friday, August 1, Jantuah questioned the reasoning behind such acts of aggression by security officers, particularly against journalists who were only carrying out their professional duty. "I don't understand why somebody from the security service will carry a belt, to whip people - even if he's not a journalist," he said.
According to him, the duty of security officers is to enforce the law and protect citizens, not to inflict harm on them. "It does not make sense to me.
