The police officers and men, later identified as court bailiffs, were allegedly there because the station owed a huge debt.
However, during their forced entry into Metro TV, some station staff had supposedly been injured in the commotion.
According to Kwesi Pratt, a panel member on the Good Morning Ghana morning show, one security guard was injured in the face-off.
The show had to be forced into a commercial break for a while as Randy and other staff confronted the armed men believed to be police officers.
The incident has generated a lot of talk on social media, with many expressing concern due to how close the 2024 elections are.
