Hence, he approached the journalist in question and apologized to her.“I was told by some of the ex-president’s bodyguards that a reporter had been brutalized by a man of their own…They showed me who she was, then I went up there and talked to her and I apologized”.He, however, noted that even the security guards were not happy about how their colleague mistreated the journalist, adding, “I also believe that it’s not good for security people to manhandle journalists in such a manner”.By: Dorcas Efe Mensah/myjoyonline.com/Ghana
