Personnel from the Asokwa
Divisional Command of the Ghana Police Service on Thursday morning stormed
Akoma FM studios during a live program to pick up the former Municipal Chief
Executive (MCE) for Ejisu, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkor, following a scuffle with the
Member of Parliament for Bantama, Daniel Okyem Aboagye.
The show, which is a battle of ideas stemming from
issue-based, results-oriented, facts-and-figure discussion, ended with former
Ejisu/Juaben MCE being almost bundled up by three police officers from Asokwa
Divisional Command following a call by Mr Okyem Aboagye for his arrest.
According to the police, they had distress call from
their Central Command to rush to the Akoma FM premises to arrest Yamoah Ponkor
because he had threatened the MP’s life during a live programme.
The scuffle started after Yamoah
Ponkor referred to Okyem Aboagye’s submission as “childish”, then the argument
escalated into an exchange of harsh words, which Okyem Aboagye found a threat
on his life.
It took the intervention of producers and host of GhanAkoma Aduanaba Kofi
Asante Ennin to separate the two ‘honorable’ from physically attacking each
other as the show had to abruptly break for commercials for almost 15 minutes.
The former MCE declined to follow the police to the
Police Station for questioning with the excuse of visiting his doctor for
treatment.
