A radio show host in Tamale, Sadiq Abubakari Gariba, was violently attacked by the former Deputy Communication Officer for the NDC, Hardi Pagazaa, while hosting a live show on Dagbon Radio in the Northern Region. The incident occurred during a panel discussion on the Ghana National Fire Service in the region.
The former NDC officer and another man barged into the studio and started an altercation. The attack was captured on video, with Pagaza holding the broadcaster by the neck in an attempt to drag him out of the studio. The presenter fought off the man, and the scuffle grew intense.
Sadiq Abubakari Gariba has reported the matter to the Police. Prior to the incident, he had played an audio clip of Pagazaa talking about him on a sister station but had decided not to respond on his show. He described the attacker as not being credible and not worth commenting on.
