Citi FM and Citi TV journalist, Caleb Kudah was picked up by a number of heavily armed national security operatives.
He was arrested for filming within the premises of a National Security Ministry, which is known to be a restricted security zone.
Later on, seven heavily armed officers subsequently stormed the premises of Citi FM/Citi TV in an attempt to arrest, Zoe Abu-Baidoo, another broadcast journalist with the respected media house, whom they claimed had received files from Caleb Kudah.
Reacting to the arrest, the National Communications Director of NDC wrote, “The NDC condemns in no uncertain terms, the arrest of Caleb Kudah and the gestapo invasion of the office of the Citi FM by armed National security operatives. The act is unlawful and preposterous. The oppression of journalists and citizens by the despotic Akufo-Addo gov’t must stop.”
