The heavily armed officers besieged Citi FM/Citi TV premises in three different vehicles in an attempt to arrest Zoe after accusing her of being Caleb Kudah’s accomplice.
While at the premises, the officers tried to overpower Zoe, who at the time was standing at the company’s car park.
Zoe Abu-Baidoo subsequently bolted and reported the issue to her superiors after sensing danger because some of the officers tried to capture her.
Management of Citi FM headed by the Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Attah-Mensah, who was present at the time of the incident, intervened and together with Zoe and other Citi FM/Citi TV managers followed the officers to the National Security Ministry.
Speaking on Citi News, the general manager of Citi FM/Citi TV, Bernard Avle confirmed that Caleb Kudah has been released.
He detailed how the incident unfolded after the armed police officers stormed the premises of Citi TV and Citi FM.
