Caleb Kudah was arrested by the National Security operatives for filming some grounded MASLOC vehicles parked at the premises despite the no photography directive.
In an attempt to arrest Zoe Abu- Baidoo Addo, who Caleb had reportedly sent some of the files he captured at the Ministry to, they raided the premises of Citi FM with guns, causing fear and panic.
Luckily for Zoe, the management of Citi FM/Citi TV prevented the operatives from taking her away and was subsequently escorted to their office where she was interrogated and left to go.
Meanwhile, the National Security has established in its investigations that the arrest and assault of Citi News’ journalist by the Director of Operations at the National Security, Lieutenant Colonel Frank Agyeman, violated the Ministry’s operating standards.
In a report filed by CitiNews, the security outfit has therefore decided to withdraw Lt. Colonel Frank Agyeman from the National Security.
Lt Col Agyeman is to report to the Chief of Defence Staff for further investigations and appropriate action.
In other news, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel Nartey George, has called out Akufo-Addo over his lack of political will to make structural changes to some state institutions.
According to him, Akufo-Addo's failure to implement recommendations of the Short Commission shows his lack of commitment to clean up the National Security, a Citi News report stated.
Sam George also happened to have suffered at the hands of the operatives of the National Security during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence.
