BNI picks up Muntie FM panelists who threatened Judges

-





Two men who made various threats on Supreme Court and High Court judges on an Accra-based radio station, have been picked up, 
According to the sources, Godwin Ako Gunn and Alistair Nelson were picked up by the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI), Sunday.
By 9 a.m Sunday, the two are reported to have given their statements to the Bureau regarding their involvement in said matter.
Rodrexblog learnt they were picked because the BNI believes their comment could spark trouble for the country even this election year.
Our sources are unsure when the two will be released and were tight-lipped what the next line of action will be.
The arrest of the two follows a call by the Ghana Bar Association (GBA) to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to as a matter of urgency, arrest the two radio panelists who threatened the lives of judges in the country.
During a political current affairs programme on Muntie FM, a local language radio station, the two panelists Gunn reportedly made threats of harm and death against the judges.
While Alistair has come out to apologise and retract his comments, Godwin – who is a member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) communication team – has denied making threatening comments on the judges.
He also says he was never on the programme, a claim that has been dismissed by individuals who say they heard him on the programme.
The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) and the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) have both condemned the alleged threats against members of the bench.
The GBA called on the security agencies to arrest and prosecute the two panelists for their comments.
The MFWA also said the comments, which was made on June 30, 2016, the 34 anniversary of the Martyr’s Day anniversary, was unnecessary unprovoked.
Martyr’s Day is marked every year in memory of the abduction and murder on June 30,1982 of the late Mr Justice Fred Poku Sarkodee, Mrs Justice Cecilia Koranteng- Addow and Mr Justice Kwadwo Agyei- Agyepong.

YOU CAN GO AND DIE IPOB TELL BUHARI

BY UKONU OBASI I have taken time to watch Buhari’s interview at Al Jazeera, especially where he was asked how he would deal with the Biafra question. First of all, I will say that from his response, and body language, it is obvious that he doesn’t care for the lives that have been lost, and may have been in support of the order to use deadly force on unarmed protesters. When your president, who took a solemn oath to protect and defend you, shows no interest in your life, and may indeed be colluding in killing his own citizens, then it may be a time to review your citizenship of that country.  I listened to Mr Buhari, and while I have previously never been a supporter of the agitation for Biafra; when I see a president who doesn’t care if his citizens live or die, where there are those who are happy to see their fellow citizens shot and killed for doing nothing more than protest, when I think back that in every part of the country that Igbos live, they are th...
