Police probe Metro TV invasion

The Ghana Police Service has commenced an investigation into the invasion of the premises of Accra-based Metro  TV on Wednesday morning.

A group of armed men in police uniforms, numbering about 10, stormed the television station during a live broadcast.

When questioned about their presence, the officers reportedly stated that they were searching for “someone.”

However, the Police, in a statement, has explained that preliminary investigations indicate that, upon a request from the court, the personnel accompanied a court bailiff, in the company of the judgment creditor, Vodacom Business (Ghana) Limited, to execute a court order against Metro TV.

The Service has urged the public, particularly the management and staff of Metro TV, to remain calm and cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
