Two journalists of online portal, ModernGhana.Com, who were arrested last week for allegedly hacking and engaging in other cyber-crimes are due for court on Tuesday July 2, 2019.<\/p>\n

The suspects are Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri, the Deputy Editor of ModernGhana and Emmanuel Yeboah Britwum, a reporter working for the portal.<\/p>\n

They were arrested Thursday evening by National Security Operatives.<\/p>\n

One of the suspects, Mr. Ajarfor Abugri claimed he was manhandled by the security officers while under detention and interrogation.<\/p>\n

According to Police and National Security sources, the two suspects were engaged in some cybercrime activities targeted at other corporate organisations. <\/p>\n

The suspects also reportedly hacked into financial records of some other media houses.<\/p>\n

The facts supporting those charges are to be made available to an Accra High Court when they appear on Tuesday, DGN Online is informed.<\/p>\n

Already there are suggestions that the claim of torture by one of the suspect is a calculated effort to win public sympathy and cover up their criminal and unethical conduct. <\/p>\n

Other public commentators have also questioned why the national security operatives would arrest and allegedly torture journalists.<\/p>\n
