In the early hours of Thursday, November 7, staff at Salt 95.9 FM were subjected to a distressing incident involving the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Asante Akyem North, Chief Kofi Asamoah.
The incident took place during a live broadcast of the popular morning show "Anopa Bosuo" hosted by Samuel Acheampong, popularly known as Tugah.
The Manager on duty, Mr. Ishaq, recounted the events, stating that Chief Kofi Asamoah, the Parliamentary Candidate for Asante Akyem North, NDC, accompanied by a group of individuals allegedly carrying weapons, attempted to force entry into the studio during the live broadcast. Security personnel on duty prevented the group from entering, averting what could have been a more dangerous situation. Mr. Ishaq highlighted that had it not been for the swift intervention of the security team, the incident could have escalated significantly, jeopardizing both the lives of staff and valuable studio equipment.
This confrontation reportedly stemmed from discussions held on the "Anopa Bosuo" morning show earlier in the morning.
Tugah mentioned a widely speculating public opinion about an alleged alliance between the NDC's Chief Kofi Asamoah and the incumbent MP, Hon Andy Appiah Kubi, suggesting that the MP was providing financial support of GHC500,000 to the NDC candidate in a bid to neutralize the influence of the independent candidate, Ohene Kwame Frimpong. The independent candidate has gained substantial traction within the constituency, making him a formidable challenger in the parliamentary race.
