The New Patriotic Party has distanced itself from the invasion of the studious of United Television on Saturday night, October 7.
Some men numbering about 16 stormed the station’s studios when the entertainment show, United Showbiz, was in session.
Entertainment critic Emmanuel Barnes, popularly known as Mr Logic, later recounted how he was forced to hide under a table.
But the NPP’s Communications Director, Richard Ahiagbah, explained on the show that the party did not commission any of the alleged thugs.
“One of your producers called me to ask if I knew something about what had transpired, and I said no. I have cross-checked, and there is no directive for anyone to come and disrupt your show. What happened is most unfortunate, and we, the party, do not condone it,” he said.
He said he went to the Tesano Police Station and saw that the thugs were writing their statement.
“I went to the police station, and they were writing their statement. Investigations would reveal the truth in the matter.”
Panelists on the show expressed their gratitude to the NPP’s Communications Director for his quick response to the issue.
