The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch in the Greater Accra Region has condemned the alleged attack on Radio Ada yesterday.<\/p>\n
The party says it is barbaric.<\/p>\n
Some masked, heavily-built men on Thursday morning attacked Radio Ada, a community radio station at Ada Foah in the Greater Accra Region, and ransacked its on-air studio without provocation.<\/p>\n
The raid followed persistent warnings to the station by some chiefs in the area, to stop their broadcasts on a project being spearheaded by businessman Daniel McKorley (McDan) which involves the Songhor salt lagoon.<\/p>\n
After learning of reports of the attack, the NDC Greater Region has issued a statement stating that this and many others \u201cis taking a notorious dimension under this government to have media houses suffer one abuse or the other for being critical of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
The party stresses that this cannot be acceptable in any civilized democratic society.<\/p>\n
According to the NDC Greater Accra Region, it\u2019s view is that the attack on Radio Ada and other media personnel in recent times is an irony under a government that touts the credentials of democracy, of which media freedom is a critical component.<\/p>\n
For this particular attack on Radio Ada, the NDC wants government to, as a matter of urgency, commission an independent investigation into the matter and possibly bring the perpetrators of such a heinous crime to book.<\/p>\n
