It has emerged that followers of the embattled Political Show host of Accra-based Montie FM, Maase Salifu aka Mugabe Tuesday attacked some journalists preventing them from covering the hearing of the contempt charges brought against him, owners of the station and two other panellists.
Kasapafmonline.com understands that the victims were practically heckled by Mugabe’s alleged supporters who had stormed the Supreme court in solidarity with the host and others summoned by the apex court July 12.
Reports say the victims could not work effectively after the alleged confrontation by the angry supporters who threatened the media not to take images of Mugabe.
The case follows an alleged threats to justices of the Supreme court that emanated from the station by two panelists and the political show host, Maase Salifu.
The two, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn during a political current affairs programme on Montie FM reportedly made threats of harm and death against the judges in the case involving the Electoral Commission and Mr Abu Ramadan.
While Alistair has come out to apologise and retract his comments, Godwin – who is a member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team – has denied making threatening comments on the judges.
Meanwhile, the Supreme court has ordered owners, the directors and share holders of Accra-based Montie FM, to appear before the court on July 18, 2016, to answer on the contempt charges against the station.
