Akyenkwaa Nana Kofi Asare, a political show host at Wontumi Radio in Kumasi, has been remanded in police custody for one week.
This was after he appeared in court on Thursday, August 14, 2025, following his arrest a few days ago.
Following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight Ghanaians on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Akyenkwaa Nana alleged on live radio that President John Mahama was responsible for the accident.
He subsequently urged the families of the eight deceased Ghanaians to hold the President solely accountable for the loss of their loved ones.
These claims by the Wontumi Radio presenter sparked public outrage, with critics describing them as reckless and insensitive to grieving families.
Consequently, the national security stormed his residence at Ejisu a few days ago to arrest him for investigations into his allegations.
