The nonsense must stop - Okatakyie Afrifa reacts to Auntie Naa's interview with Yaw Sarpong's 'wife'

Media personality Okatakyie Afrifa has criticized Oyerepa FM journalist Auntie Naa for her approach to marital issues on her radio program, Oyerepa Afutuo.

He argued that Auntie Naa's methods lack professionalism adding that it is likely to damage the media's reputation in Ghana.

He accused her of inciting controversy for headlines rather than resolving conflicts, which he believes goes against true media ethics and negatively affects society.

Speaking on Angel FM, Okatakyie Afrifa urged Auntie Naa to cease her unprofessional conduct on her show, labelling it as nonsense and calling for National Security's involvement.

“Unprofessional people sit on radio without any iota of knowledge in solving marital issues and turn themselves into judges of morality. They are breaking homes and National Security will not even have an idea about the implications of what is happening on social media in the name of radio programs.

“Even in court, matrimonial cases are handled differently. When divorcing couples, we do it in such a way that there will be peace for the father to cater for the children afterwards. Someone should tell me a single marital issue Auntie Naa has been able to resolve. This nonsense must stop. People are talking because it concerns Yaw Sarpong. Do you know the kind of homes she is breaking in this country?” he said in Twi.

His comments follow an interview where Yaw Sarpong's wife, Adwoa Penamang, disclosed to Auntie Naa how the family has mistreated and neglected her since her husband's illness began.

She also expressed her distress over her husband's family allowing Maame Tiwaa to care for Yaw Sarpong, leaving her [Adwoa] neglected.

The interview has drawn criticism from some members of the public who feel the interview was unnecessary and should not have been conducted.
