The Founder of Class Media Group, Alhaji Seidu Agongo, has applauded President John Dramani Mahama for confirming the interdiction of Ghana National Fire Service officers implicated in the assault of journalist Samuel Addo at the Kasoa New Market.
In a statement, Mr Agongo described the incident as “despicable and unacceptable,” stressing that the attack was not only an affront to one journalist but also a threat to the integrity of Ghana’s democratic institutions and the reputation of the Fire Service.
He also noted that “this prompt action underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring media freedom and accountability within our security services.
Mr Agongo expressed confidence that investigative bodies will act swiftly and judiciously to ensure justice is served and reforms are implemented.
While emphasising that protecting press freedom is essential to safeguarding Ghana’s hard-earned democratic credentials, the businessman further pledged the support of Class Media Group in advancing dialogue, advocacy, and initiatives that guarantee sustainable reforms for the safety of journalists and the credibility of security services.
