The Police is set to reward anyone who gives them information leading to the arrest of the attackers of Radio Ada last week.
The Service has placed a ¢10,000 bounty on the heads of the thugs who attacked the station and assaulted a presenter.
In a statement, the Police said a team of investigators and intelligence officers from the National and Regional Headquarters have liaised with the Ada Divisional Command to investigate the unfortunate incident.
The Service said upon request by the management of the Radio Station; clinical psychologists will be assigned to the radio station.
“We will do everything possible to find those thugs and deal with them according to the laws of this country. To this end, the Police Administration has placed ¢10,000 bounty as an informant reward for anyone who offers a piece of credible information leading to the arrest of the thugs who invaded and vandalised the Radio Station and assaulted the staff,” the police statement said.

The Police assured that “adequate measures have been fashioned out to protect the Radio station and its staff as efforts to arrest the culprits to face justice continue.”
Thugs numbering about 10 on Thursday, January 13 2022, attacked the premises of Radio Ada, a community radio station at Ada.
According to reports, they destroyed equipment and furniture in some of the station’s offices and maltreated two staff members over the content aired on one of its programmes.
Ada MP, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah, subsequently condemned the attack and called on President Akufo-Addo to protect journalists in the country.
“I am calling on the President as a Human Rights Lawyer to speak up and make sure he protects our vulnerable journalists. It is bad news for Ada,” she said.
The Information Ministry also ordered the district police command to conduct a thorough investigation into the attack and ensure that culprits are sanctioned under the law.
“There is no justification for a group of people to physically attack a radio station and its staff for comments made on air. If a party is aggrieved at media comments, there are legitimate and legal avenues to redress.
“Attacks of this nature are, however, totally unacceptable, and the perpetrators must be identified and action taken in accordance with the law,” parts of the statement from the ministry read.
