Top fm News reporter, Emmanuel Sackey, has been assaulted in the line of duty by a member of the security detail of the NDC in a Hawk T-Shirt, Saturday.
He was allegedly slapped at Gomoa Fetteh during the election of the party's youth and woman organizer by the security detail whose identity is yet to be ascertained.
The assault left the journalist visibly bruised with part of his mouth swollen living him with pain.
Narrating what had happened to Atinka News, Sackey said, “Last Saturday after the NDC youth and women's wing conference I was about interviewing Edem Agbana, the newly elected deputy Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), when a light-skinned security guard in a hawk T-shirt came to tell me he will not allow me to interact with Edem as he (Edem) was still interacting with party faithfuls.
An aide of Edem called however asked me to wait and that he will allow Edem to speak to me after he is done with his party members. So I waited until I was signaled to approach Edem and conduct the interview.
Just when I was about interviewing Edem, this same who had tried to deny me access to Edem initially came back for the second time and this time punched me on my mouth and cheeks in the process”.
