Ghanaian Investigative Journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has sent a strong message to the Kumasi Traditional Council, following their move to shut down Oyerepa Fm.
Manhyia recently ordered for the shutdown of Oyerepa radio station after Odike used their platform to throw shots at Ashanti Chiefs, claiming they are engaged Galamsey activities which are destroying our lands, rivers and other resources.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, the Kumasi Traditional Council should know that, the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana provides remedies to situations of defamation and thus, Manhyia can sue Oyerepa Fm but can’t shut it down.
He wrote on Twitter;
“Kumasi Traditional Council, the constitution provides remedies should the media defame you. You can sue, but you can’t shut down”.
