Police in the Ashanti region have launched manhunt for six persons who it says stormed the Fox FM studios to attack a New Patriotic Party (NPP) activist, Baah Achamfuor on a live radio programme.

According to media reports some unknown persons violently broke into the studios of the radio station during a live programme and attacked the presenter and a panellist on the programme last week.

The incident is said to have happened during an afternoon political programme on the station on Monday, April 24.

According to the host of the programme, Kwaku Kyere, one of the panellists on the programme, Mr. Baah Acheamfuor, had made a comment about the NPP on the programme even though the NPP was not the subject for discussion on the programme.

In a statement, the police said one of the suspects who has been identified as Ahmed stays at Aboabo, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region but is currently on the run.

Efforts are however underway to arrest him, the statement added.

The police are also promising a ¢2,000 reward to anyone whose information will lead to the arrest of the six suspects.
