According to reports, Captain Smart has been suspended by the CEO of Angel Broadcasting Network Dr. Kweku Oteng for 'his constant attack on the government to do the right thing'.
The suspension of Captain Smart from the Angel FM morning show was confirmed by the station's General Manager Kwadwo Dickson.

1. Had a worrying conversation moments ago. Captain Smart's boss has allegedly asked him to go off air for a while as a result of undue pressure that has been piled on him by 'high ranking officials in government'.

Captain Smart’s issue isn’t an isolated one, there are so many presenters who are threatened daily for saying things that aren’t favourable to gov’t. The sad aspect is you have CEOS with zero balls and would throw you under the bus #FixTheCountry #FixTheCountryGhana

In 2021, Ghanaian journalists are not allowed to do real journalism, as media owners with links to political parties seem to support "culture of silence"pic.twitter.com/vBljRNphRD
