Kofi Jumah needs to visit the mental hospital – Ben Ephson

The Managing Editor of the Daily Dispatch newspaper, Ben Ephson, in an uncharacteristic fashion, allowed his anger to take the better of him to the extent of claiming that Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the former MP for Asokwa Constituency need to visit the mental hospital.

He lost his cool after the former MP stated categorically on Adom FM that, the publishing of the faces of the Judges in the on-going Supreme Court case, challenging the validity of the 2012 election results was inappropriate as he would rather purchase “bofrot” because it is worthless.

This, Mr. Ephson did not take lightly, he phoned into the live program and asserted that “no one has the copyright when it comes to loose and stupid talk. He has forgotten, but when he goes back to put on his thinking cap he would know that Graphic published it first”.

“Kofi Jumah, don’t you see Justice Atugubah’s picture in today’s Graphic? You should not buy ‘bofrot’ with it but rather use it to clean your ass,” he fumed.

These exchanges on Adom FM comes on the back of several calls for sanity in our deliberations in the media with the plea by the Asantehene being the latest during a visit to President John Dramani Mahama, and Nana Akufo-Addo, the Flag bearer and the first Petitioner in the 2012 election results dispute in the Supreme Court.
