\n

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has justified the closure of Agogo-based Salt FM and insisted that the management of the station was given several reminders but failed to renew its authorization.<\/p>\n

Some residents of Agogo took to the streets on Tuesday in protest following the closure of Salt FM by the NCA.<\/p>\n

Some residents suspect political motives behind the closure, pointing to a recent walk organized by Mr. Frimpong, which was massively patronized.<\/p>\n

There were also allegations that a member of the ruling government, who is reportedly establishing a rival radio station, may have influenced the NCA\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

But the Ashanti Regional Office of the NCA refuted claims that there were political motives in the shutting down of the radio station.<\/p>\n

It said the exercise to close down Salt FM was not a novelty, as a series of such actions are being carried out across the country.<\/p>\n

Although officials at the Kumasi office of the NCA will not speak on record, they maintained the closure of Salt FM was in order.<\/p>\n
