The National Security operatives forced him into a chair, he said.

''They slapped me from the back. I was trying to appeal to them that they had beaten me enough, but they were just slapping me from the back,'' he said.

Following Kudah's arrest, the National Security operatives besieged Citi FM and Citi TV on Tuesday, May 11, in an attempt to arrest Zoe Abu-Baidoo Addo, who Kudah had sent some of the files he captured at the ministry via WhatsApp.

The management of the Ghanaian media house, however, prevented the operatives from capturing Zoe and went along with her to the National Security Ministry where she was interrogated.

Both Kudah and Zoe Abu-Baidoo were released later in the evening on Tuesday.
