The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has given the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) 14 days to release the findings of its investigation into the assault on Class FM reporter, Samuel Addo.
The association warned that failure by the Service to release the findings could result in sanctions, including blacklisting.
Mr Albert Dwumfour, GJA President, stated this at a press conference in Accra, where he addressed a series of recent attacks on journalists across the country.
Journalists covering the area, Mr Dwumfour said, had been labelled as enemies and subjected to coordinated online harassment.
“Even after Mr Kanaluwe identified himself as a journalist, the assault reportedly continued, with the soldiers stating they did not care about his profession,” Mr Dwumfour said.
