At least one injured as armed men accompanied by police invade Metro TV

A group of armed men besieged the premises of Accra-based Metro TV on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

According to broadcaster Dr. Randy Abbey, the armed men, who were accompanied by personnel of the Ghana Police Service, were trying to enter the studio while his Good Morning Ghana programme was ongoing.

He indicated that the incident forced the producers of the show to pause the broadcast so the people in the studio could take cover.

He said that a number of security personnel of Metro TV got injured as they were trying to stop the armed men from besieging the studio.

“You realised that we had an abrupt break. 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.

“Our 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,” he said.

Dr. Abbey wondered why the armed men were trying to break into the studio and why they were being accompanied by policemen.

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.

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.
