I wish to express my profound gratitude to every one of you for the overwhelming support, concern, and solidarity shown following the unfortunate assault and subsequent detention I suffered at the hands of National Security operatives yesterday, July 30, 2025.

Every call, message, and word of encouragement during this challenging moment has been deeply moving and immensely appreciated.

I am especially grateful to the Board, Management, and Staff of the Multimedia Group Limited for their swift intervention and resolute support.

Your actions ensured not only our safety but also facilitated my release.

This is the true mark of a leadership that stands firmly behind its team.

I consider it a privilege to be part of a media family that is INDEPENDENT, FEARLESS, and CREDIBLE.

I wish to extend a heartfelt appreciation to the larger media fraternity in Ghana, particularly all media houses, the Ghana Journalists Association, and the Media Foundation for West Africa for rising in defence of media freedom.

Your prompt condemnation of this reprehensible attack is a testament to your unwavering commitment to safeguarding press freedom and protecting the dignity of journalists.

Let me be clear, this was not merely an attack on Carlos Calony, his crew, or an innocent eyewitness.

It was an attack on free speech, on press freedom, and on the very principles of democracy Ghana has sworn to uphold.

The assault was unprovoked, unjustifiable, and deeply troubling.

I respectfully call on the relevant authorities to ensure that justice is served and, more critically, that concrete steps are taken to protect journalists and media practitioners from future harm.

The military uniform is a powerful symbol of discipline, honour, and national service.

It must not be tainted by the actions of a few unscrupulous individuals who abuse their authority and undermine the integrity of the institution.

To every Ghanaian, colleague, and well-wisher who believes in the sanctity of free speech and the safety of journalists, thank you.

May we continue to stand together in defence of truth, justice, and freedom.
