The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has condemned an attack on the Director of News of Accra-based Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN) Kofi Adoma Nwanwani.
The attack nearly led to the death of the broadcast journalist.
The incident occurred on Saturday, August 6, 2022, when unknown assailants riding a motorbike, attacked Kofi Adoma with sharp objects and tried to set him ablaze when he was returning to Accra from Kuntunse.
The GJA National Executive, which was attending a three-day retreat at Obosomase, near Aburi, in the Eastern region, received the news of the attack with utter shock.
A statement from the GJA described the attack as heinous and dastardly and called on the Ghana Police Service to launch immediate investigations into the attack.
“We also urge the general public to support the police in their investigations to bring the perpetrators to face the law. The GJA wishes Kofi Adoma Nwanwani a Speedy recovery,” the statement said.
The GJA also expressed its condolences to the General Manager of Citi FM / Citi TV (Omni Media), Bernard Koku Avle who lost his wife on Thursday, August 4, 2022.
“We pray that the good Lord will strengthen him, his children and his family during this difficult period,” the statement added.
