Some persons are wishing me dead - Samson Ayenini

Host of Joy Fm’s weekend news analysis programme Newsfile, Samson Lardi Ayenini has revealed that some persons are wishing him dead.

The legal practitioner and journalist who has come under a barrage of attacks  since Saturday April 15, 2017 from supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following the non representation of a panelist on last Saturday’s edition of Newsfile has also denied media reports his home was raided and he was attacked.

In response to enquiries by executive producer of Abusua Nkommo Akoto Mansa Attakora-Manu about the said attack Mr Ayenini said “Eunice, I spent almost the entire night reading for the show. I returned to get some rest. I am just waking up to the false news of being attacked by whoever in my home.

My wife actually got a call inquiring and that’s how I got to look at my phone and saw your message seeking to confirm same.

I am just seeing numerous similar enquiries by whatsapp and missed calls. Please ignore that so called breaking news. I am used to verbal attacks. Wify is worried a certain post wishing I had died in the recent accident though. That’s my only worry now. But these are occupational hazards. Thanks for your concern.”

Samson Lardi Ayenini it would be recalled a fortnight ago was involved in a near fatal accident on the Accra-Tema Motorway when another vehicle heading to Tema believed to have skidded off its lane, somersaulted and tumbled on Lardy Anyenini’s Nissan Pathfinder killing the driver of that car instantly.

He was said to have been rushed to the  37 Military Hospital where he was treated and later discharged but  said his family members especially his wife are worried some persons wished he had died in that accident among other castigating posts on social media.
