The Media Foundation for West Africa and Press Freedom Organisations from 14 other West African countries have petitioned President Akufo Addo to personally take interest in ensuring the safety and security of Investigative Journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni.
This follows threats he received in the wake of an investigative report he did about De-Eye Group, which he described as a militia group aligned to the ruling NPP, having training at the Osu Castle.
The petitioners say the recent murder of a member of the Tiger Eye-PI, Ahmed Suale and bits and pieces of acts of violations against journalists gone unpunished in Ghana, gives credence to the need to consider the threat on Manasseh’s life as a cause for concern.
