The officials allegedly targeted the station with the intent to assault media professionals during a live broadcast.
According to a report by GhanaWeb, the incident unfolded whilst presenters were hosting a live on-air discussion focusing on internal rifts destabilising the local branch of the ruling NDC.
Witnesses suggest the MCE arrived with an aggressive group of unidentified men.
The confrontation escalated when the group reportedly used their own keys to lock the radio station’s premises, trapping individuals inside.
Footage later depicted a substantial police presence deployed to restore order, with anxious staff congregating outside.
The alleged raid follows broadcasts scrutinising a highly publicised dispute involving the constituency’s Member of Parliament, Naa Koryoo, and the party’s local chairman.
Authorities are expected to investigate the security breach, which has sparked renewed concerns over press freedom in the region.
