Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “Had a worrying conversation moments ago. Captain Smart’s boss has allegedly asked him to go off air for a while as a result of undue pressure that has been piled on him by ‘high ranking officials in government’. Captain Smart’s crime, allegedly, is that his usual critical commentary on national affairs is making government unpopular. Really? I hope it is not some overzealous politicians who made those calls. Either way, it paints a gravely intolerant picture. #Fixitnow!” Franklin wrote.
Manasseh Azure has also taken to his page on Facebook to also give more explanation about the ongoing to Captain Smart brouhaha. Manasseh disclosed that after reading Franklin Cudjoe’s post, he decided to do further investigations into the matter.

After reading Franklin Cudjoe’s post on Captain Smart going off air due to pressure from some top government officials, I did my own checks from multiple sources close to Angel Broadcasting Limited, and this is what I was told:

- That Captain Smart has been taken off air. It’s unknown how long he will be away.
- Management has not officially communicated this to the staff of the company.
- There have been complaints and pressure from some top government officials who are aggrieved by Captain Smart’s utterances on his show.
- Management of the station are concerned about how he sometimes attacks personalities, instead of staying on the issues he discusses. They yanked him off air after several warnings and the complaints/pressure from some aggrieved top officials.”
