Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the NPP
The National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has responded to the heckling of a journalist at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters.
The incident occurred while the journalist was covering a protest by party supporters over the arrest of NPP Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako on May 27, 2025 at the EOCO headquarters.
In a video snippet shared by UTV on X on May 28, 2025, Nana B addressed the treatment of JoyNews journalist, Latif Iddrisu, who was reportedly heckled during a live coverage of the protest.
Speaking on the matter, Nana B stated that he had not seen the footage of supporters confronting the journalist but condemned such actions, emphasising the need for professionalism.
“I haven’t seen the footage showing that he was heckled by some supporters. Let your producers send it to me. We will advise our supporters to be decorous, but you must also advise your journalists,” he said.
When asked whether a journalist’s alleged wrongdoing justified such a response, Nana B acknowledged that “two wrongs do not make a right” but claimed that some journalists engage in propaganda.
He urged media houses to guide their reporters accordingly.
Meanwhile, the journalist at the center of the heckling, Latif Iddrisu, has reportedly filed a police complaint over the development.
