OYEREPA FM GOES OFF AIR IN COMPLIANCE WITH MANHYIA’S ORDER

Bantamahene, Baffuor Amankwatia VI, the acting President of the Kumasi Traditional Council, admonished the management of the radio station to cease operations as a sign of remorse.

“You gave Odike the platform to say all that he said without caution. If you want us to accept your apology and show remorse, then announce to your listeners that you’ve erred and apologise,” Baffuor Amankwatia VI.

According to reports, Oyerapa FM, as of the morning of Friday, August 26, 2022, is no longer on air.

This comes from assurances given by the General Manager of Oyerepa FM, Samtimer Otuo Acheampong, that the station will do everything to compensate for offending Manhyia.

Odike recently incurred the wrath of the Kumasi Traditional Council for allegedly accusing some chiefs in the Ashanti Region of being embroiled in illegal mining (galamsey) activities.

The Kumasi Traditional Council last week performed rituals to banish Odike on the back of the comment.

According to the Kumasi Traditional Council, the businessman turned politician made inciteful statements that the Council deemed to be distasteful, unsubstantiated and meant to dent the image of Manhyia.
