    The attack on Accra-based TV station United Television (UTV), according to the founder and leader of Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, was a blatant display of power on the part of the attackers.

    Sixteen people have been detained, according to the Ghana Police Service, for Saturday night’s invasion of the UTV studios.

    “Following a complaint from the Despite Media Group and Ministry of Information that certain people had invaded the studios of U-TV this evening, the Police proceeded to the scene and arrested sixteen (16) persons in connection with the incident.
    “They are currently at the Police Station assisting investigations,” shortly after, the Ghana Police Service added a statement.

    On Sunday, October 8, 2023, Mr. Alan Kyerematen addressed the situation in a tweet and urged for the swift prosecution of all those responsible.

    “I strongly condemn yesterday’s attack on members of @utvghana’s #UnitedShowbiz program, which is a blatant violation of Freedom of the Media and Free Speech- two fundamental principles enshrined in our Constitution.

    “This incident was a wanton display of arrogance of power and indiscipline, issues that have hindered our progress as a nation for far too long. Our Constitution, particularly Article 162, strongly safeguards the independence of the media, and vehemently opposes any interference or harassment based on editorial opinions, views, or content,” Mr. Kyerematen stated.

    “I commend the swift response of our law enforcement agencies in addressing this incident. It is of utmost importance that we protect and uphold the media’s independence and hold those responsible for this attack accountable,” he continued.

    The former NPP candidate for president also demanded that everyone involved be immediately prosecuted, adding that “we must resoundingly convey that such actions have no place in our democratic society.”

    “Let us always remember that a free and independent media is the cornerstone of a thriving democracy. It is our collective responsibility to uphold and protect these principles, which are essential to our progress as a people,” he wrote.
