A Communications Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr William Sangmor has urged the youth of the party, especially those who invaded the premises of UTV on Saturday, to channel their energies to educate themselves to acquire more knowledge and skills to help the country develop.
It was reported that about 30 hooligans invaded the studios of UTV on Saturday night, just at the beginning of the ‘United Showbiz’, an entertainment programme, demanding representation on the panel and asking the whereabouts of one of the regular panelists.
According to sources, the invasion by the hooligans lasted for about 45 minutes before the arrival of the Police, and about one hour thereafter, before normalcy was restored for the programme to continue.
In the course of the invasion, the hooligans assaulted the Director of Photography and one of the producers of ‘United Showbiz, while the hostess of the programme, other staff of the station and invited guests for the programme were left traumatized.
Further investigations suggest that the Acting Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was in the company of the hooligans some of whom introduced themselves as constituency youth organisers of the NPP.
Speaking on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie with Ama Gyenfa Ofosu Darkwah, Mr William Sangmor attributed what happened to youthful exuberance, saying if not managed well, it can lead to a lot of things that could bring trouble.
As a youth leader, he observed that sometimes when the youth are together, they feel they can do anything, even push a whole building and others.
He condemned that act and urged them to channel their energies to educate themselves to become better people.
