The Director of Radio at Ken City
Media, Kwabena Kwakye, fondly called KK, is the target of a killer squad
assembled to, according to information reaching DAILY GUIDE, eliminate
or render him physically incapable of sustaining his occupation at the
media network.
A report about the possible assassination has been
reported to the Kwabenya Police Station following persistent signs
about the dastardly plans by certain political elements, according to
the radio host.
It is the latest in a string of reactions against
the radio station, whose Boiling Point and National Agenda programmes
have become a thorn in the flesh of National Democratic Congress (NDC)
activists at the corridor of power.
When DAILY GUIDE contacted KK
yesterday, he confirmed the story and went on to explain that he had
earlier contacted the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Patrick
Timbillah, who referred him to the Kwabenya Police Station because he
lived in that portion of the city.
Ken City Media, operators of
Oman FM and Net Two TV, has been at the receiving end of what looks like
National Communications Authority (NCA) machinations against it
following the arrest of the proprietor of the establishment, Hon.
Kennedy Ohene Agyepong, when he was hosted by Fiifi Boafo.
The
radio station, for the first time since its establishment, had its
transmissions intermittently taken off air in some parts of the city and
the TV station also suffered what looked like deliberate attempts at
messing up its operations.
Mr. Fiifi Boafo, host of the National
Agenda morning programme, was invited by the Criminal Investigations
Department (CID) ostensibly to help the police unit in their
investigations into the utterance by Kennedy Agyepong which unsettled
the government.
But for the insistence of his lawyers that the
right thing be done, he would have been detained overnight to ostensibly
help the police in their investigations in the Kennedy Agyepong
utterance.
Mr. Kwabena Kwakye told DAILY GUIDE that hints about
the plan to assassinate him were dropped by Hon. Maxwell Kofi Jumah, who
he said claimed to be privy to the details of the diabolic plans
against him.
An assassination squad was set up for the operation
after a reconnaissance of his residence was made earlier; unfortunately
however the leader of the mission developed cold feet and eventually
opted out, DAILY GUIDE has been told.
The suspicious-looking
persons who appeared to be on the prowl around his house, giving basis
to the foregone suspicion, have been captured on camera.
Kwabena
Kwakye has not been a friend of the political establishment since his
Adom FM days where his political programme became a household
phenomenon.
Ever since he floated the Boiling Point programme on
Oman FM after migrating from Adom, it has become a rallying point for
Ghanaians with a passion for local politics.
The Tuesday and
Thursday evening Boiling Point programme hosted by him as the flagship
of the radio station, have become synonymous with his name.
Media
watchers did not take kindly to the subtle manoeuvres to withdraw the
operating licence of the network, and especially coming at the heels of
the infamous barring of Multimedia reporters from state activities by
government, press freedom is particularly under a glaring spotlight. |
