Maybe you can still hear some noise. It has to do with some armed policemen and another person who were trying to forcibly enter the studio here.<\/p>\n \u201cOur private security is trying to prevent them; a couple of them are injured. They have actually been thrown here into the studio. That is why we took the break,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Dr. Abbey also wondered why the armed men were trying to break into the studio and why they were being accompanied by policemen.<\/p>\n The panellists on the programme: veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr. and the New Patriotic Party representative, Dr. Richard Asante Yeboah, the Executive Secretary of the Public Servants Housing Loans Scheme, were left shocked by what had transpired.<\/p>\n As the men were narrating what had transpired, a lot of noise could be heard in the background, suggesting that the chaos was still ongoing.<\/p>\n At least one injured as armed men, accompanied by police, invade Metro TV.
