Professor Ransford Gyampo, the Acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority, and Development Economist Dr George Domfeh engaged in a brawl that nearly ended in fisticuffs.

The incident occurred when the two senior lecturers from the University of Ghana (UG) appeared on TV3's weekend political analysis programme, 'The Key Point'.

In a Facebook video, Dr Domfeh stood close to the cameras as some production staff tried to restrain and move him away from Prof Gyampo. Meanwhile, Prof Gyampo stood by his seat. Some of the panellists, together with Alfred Ocansey, the host of the show, attempted to calm Prof Gyampo.

During the intense exchange, Dr Domfeh levelled allegations against Prof Gyampo regarding his professional conduct with students. He also criticised Prof Gyampo’s background and perceived political leanings.

In another video circulating online, Dr Domfeh appeared unhappy with comments Prof Gyampo made during his submission on the programme. Prof Gyampo said academics were expected to analyse situations objectively and without bias.

Although he did not mention Dr Domfeh by name, the Development Economist assumed the remark was directed at him. Prof Gyampo reportedly took issue with Dr Domfeh’s reaction, which escalated into the confrontation.
