The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has added its voice to the list of persons and organizations calling on NEWS-ONE to rescind its decision to publish uncensored photographs of a female Ghanaian musician who exposed her sex organ during a concert in Accra recently.
“We respect the authority of the editor to decide which stories to put in the paper, but we are saying that in exercising that decision, please let it be moderated by the suggestions we have made.
“We are saying that in the larger interest of the public, kindly hold back the photographs to spare the reputation and image of the female musician in question,” GJA President Ransford Tetteh told NEWS-ONE in a telephone conversation.
The GJA’s president explained further that NEWS-ONE had nothing to lose by holding back the said photographs, whereas the paper would be doing a lot of harm to the songstress if the photographs were published.
The editorial desk of NEWS-ONE is still under pressure to back down on its decision to publish the said photographs.
Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere, Chairman of the National Media Commission (NMC); the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA); former National Women’s Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Daavi Ama; News Editor of Peace FM Issa Monnie; Rev. Opambour Adarkwa Yiadom of the Ebenezer Miracle Worship Centre, and several other persons who pleaded anonymity, have appealed to NEWS-ONE not to publish the said photographs but the paper has not given an assurance to any of the persons or groups pleading.
Though NEWS-ONE has not mentioned the name of any songstress, the names of several musicians have been thrown into the public domain and speculations of who the particular musician may be are still raging.
Meanwhile, a couple of media houses who have put out the names of some female musicians do not seem to have the photographs to back their story.
The said female musician had mounted the stage of the Accra International Conference Centre, dressed to kill, in a very sexy evening wear, with entirely no panties beneath. No panties mean no panties, underwear, no slacks, no beads, just her naked hairy vagina.
During her performance, she positioned herself in such a way that our cameras captured her sex organ, which we believe might also have been seen by a good section of the audience, especially those on the front row.
It was quite sizeable, chubby, dark and hairy but appealing.
This is the second time our cameras have captured a top Ghanaian female celebrity at a public event without her pants on. The first was at a press conference of an all-female concert that was held a few months back and one of the artistes at the conference sat in such a way that exposed her sex organ that was not in pants anyway.
What is not yet certain is whether, in the latest case, the musician deliberately used her naked sex organ as part of her stage craft, or she was doing something else back stage which could not give her enough time to put on her panties.
