The Kumasi Traditional Council has denied claims that it forced the management of Oyerepa FM to shut down operations.[ads2]
The Kumasi-based station shut down operations after allowing Akwasi Addai Odike to attack the Asantehene on the menace of illegal mining.
Many have kicked against the shut down of the station while others believe it was the right decision since it’s a way of showing remorse as they seek for the forgiveness of manhyia palace.[ads3]
In a meeting with some members from the Ghana Journalists Association, the linguist of the Asantehene, Baafuo Kantankrankyi said the Manhyia Palace only advised the management of the station but not necessarily to shut down operations.
“We didn’t force management of Oyerepa to shut down their radio station,” he said as quoted by 3news.[ads4]
“We only advised them that for the respect they have for Asantehene, they should just do that which they complied.”[ads5]
