Okatakyie Afrifa, a journalist and former staff of Angel FM, has raised concerns about an alleged attempt to intimidate him.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, 18th March, 2025, he recounted a troubling experience that took place on the night of March 17, 2025.
According to Afrifa, he first spotted two suspicious vehicles at a location where he was holding a meeting. Hours later, around 11:30 PM, he realized that the same vehicles were following him as he drove. Sensing danger, he decided to counter-chase them. One of the vehicles pretended to make a phone call in an attempt to avoid direct confrontation.
He noted that one of the vehicles, a Range Rover without a number plate, was eventually stopped and questioned. The driver allegedly claimed to be a National Service personnel, an explanation that Afrifa dismissed.
Afrifa strongly believes that the incident was an attempt by the government to intimidate him. However, he emphasized that he will not be silenced and will continue to exercise his right to free speech and movement..
The incident has generated some discussions online, with some of his followers expressing concern for his safety. Others have called on authorities to investigate the matter and ensure that journalists are not targeted for their work.
As of now, there has been no official response from the government regarding Afrifa’s claims.
For the past few weeks , Okatakyie Afrifa has been hosting his own show on Facebook, titled ‘For The Records’. This show seems to be a target against the current NDC government. His show is meant to speak against the government anything they do things wrong. He also serves as a whistle blower. However, he has received several threats from some individuals who believe that Okatakyie is trying to make the NDC government unpopular.
