Ace broadcaster Kwami Sefa Kayi has sarcastically told colleague journo Manasseh Azure Awuni to "go and sin no more".

The comments come after Manasseh apologized to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), David Asante-Apeatu, for reportedly likening the security inability to fight vigilantism as a "castrated pig".

Manasseh Azure, according to reports, is quoted to have said the IGP is "impotent" in resolving issues that put Ghana's security into jeopardy.

On Monday, February 4, 2019, Manasseh Azure wrote an article titled "MANASSEH’S FOLDER: Why Akufo-Addo’s peace hymn is worse than Mahama’s war song" in protest against President’s Akufo-Addo’s condemnation of the Ayawaso by-election violence and his call on the IGP and the police to investigate the matter.

His point was that the President had made similar condemnations in the past which yielded no positive results so far as the fight against vigilantism was concerned.

Although he didn't describe the IGP as a "useless pig", there are reports circulating online that the journalist had used such a term to label the IGP.

Manasseh Azure seems to have provoked the Police administration, as the security agency, in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, ACP David Eklu indicated that the Administration "take strong exception to the type of language used and we take strong exception to the imagery".

ACP David Eklu added that Mr Azure's character doesn't reflect the professional standard of journalism in the country.

"It is unGhanaian, it is in bad state and does not reflect the standard of journalism that we expect in this country. If you choose to use a language that does not reflect the standard and cultural values in this country, then you are not practising a professional job".

When the issue was brought up for discussion on PeaceFM's "Kokrokoo" show, by former NPP MP for Bantama, Hon Henry Kokofu, the host of the progarmme, Kwami Sefa Kayi popularly called Chairman General sought to put up a defence for his colleague journalist saying he (Sefa) does not believe Manasseh would call the IGP a "useless pig". To him, perhaps the phrase was used metaphorically.

He, however, hoped that Mr Azure Awuni, would render an unqualified apology to the IGP if indeed the media reports were accurate.

The prolific writer later called into the show and duly appologised saying he didn't mean to sound offensive.

"I duly apologize. I did not call the IGP a useless pig or I did not call the IGP a pig”, said Manasseh.

Thereupon, the host told Azure to "go and sin no more".

“Manasseh Azure Awuni is not that character. So, it is difficult for me to believe that he will deliberately insult, disrespect or malign or denigrate the IGP... go and sin no more,” Sefa Kayi told Manasseh.
