The three suspects involved in the attack on Elmina-based Benya FM have been put before the Cape Coast Circuit Court.
The case, which was called on Friday, May 20, 2022, has been adjourned to June 28, 2022.
The police arrested the three suspects in Elmina on Wednesday.
The attackers stormed the studio whilst a live talk show on fishing and premix fuel distribution issues was ongoing, and they assaulted the presenter for speaking against the improper distribution of premix fuel in the area.
They pleaded not guilty and were granted bail with two sureties each.
In an interview with Citi News, the Spokesperson for Benya FM, James Nunoo, said they are satisfied with the court’s decision.
“We believe this will serve as a deterrent to others. Of late, there have been a lot of these cases where people take the law into their own hands and put fear and panic in the work we do.”
“We believe this is a classic case and the court will listen to us and do justice, so it will serve as a deterrent to others,” Mr. Nunoo said.
The broadcaster, who was assaulted, Eric Blessing Eshun, alleged that the MCE for the area was behind the attack.
The MCE, Ebo Appiah, has however, denied the claims.
