Captain Smart of Media General has been released from the National Intelligence Bureau’s custody (NIB).
We learned that the astute broadcaster, who has become a vocal critic of the Akufo-Addo administration, was arrested after work on Wednesday and released that night.
His arrest came after he made some comments that the president of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo that he is into illegal mining which is popularly known as GALAMSEY.
The government released a statement to rubbish these claims and the statement released partly reads;
“The content propagated in the video is false, malicious and without basis. It is nothing but an act of unethical and irresponsible journalism; The video is intended to court disaffection for government and undermine efforts to fight illegal mining in the country.
We will continue to hold Media General in high esteem and urge them not to compromise their standards for validating information, ethical practice, and avoiding conjecture in presentation of facts.”
