Senyo's post, which circulated widely on Monday, 14 September 2026, named Adu by name and alleged she held the position under the administration of Raymond Atuguba, the current Director of Legal Education, while continuing to anchor news and host programmes at TV3.

He urged viewers to consider the political context behind her interviews, writing that the "real issue is not whether she has the right to do her job as a journalist or to accept a public appointment," but rather one of perception and political proximity.

The Facebook post of Mayor Senyo making the allegations against Beatrice Adu is below:

Beatrice Adu denies law appointment allegations

Adu, co-host of TV3's "New Day" and host of "Agenda", responded directly and at length on Facebook, stating she had never had any association with the Ghana School of Law and had yet to receive any appointment letter.

The renowned Ghanaian media personality called on Senyo to produce the document he claimed to have seen.

"I am looking forward to receiving from you the appointment letter as you have sighted," she wrote, challenging him to back up his claim. "I don't think social media gives you the right to publish anything because it is on your chest."

The popular TV3 presenter acknowledged she typically ignores such posts but said she chose to respond this time so that political figures would understand the harm of publicly tagging journalists with party labels.

Beatrice Adu pointed directly to Senyo's role as an NPP executive, suggesting his post was politically motivated rather than a genuine concern about media ethics.

"I rarely respond to insults from foot soldiers of Ghana's major political parties, particularly from those of the NPP and NDC because I am a professional," she wrote. "It becomes more troubling and unfortunate when officers like you get deeply involved in this manner."

Adu made clear she has no issue with the principle of a journalist taking up a legitimate public role but objected firmly to what she described as aspersions cast on her credibility and the broader culture of politically branding media professionals.

Dziwornu Kuivi commented:

"They just don't like being asked the hard question. When you moderate, they hate it when you push them to speak to the issues devoid of propaganda. They are perfidious propagandists. Ignore them. But should it get to a level where your person and integrity are marred, don't forget to seek legal remedy."
