Morning Show host of Kumasi-based Wontumi Radio and Television in the Ashanti Region, Ohenaba Nana Asiedu, has been invited by the Police for publishing false news.

The Police invitation is hinged on a video circulating on social media, in which the suspect is sighted at the studios of Wontumi FM in Kumasi, urging the public to vote for the presidential candidates on separate dates during the upcoming general elections in December 2024, a statement which is false and likely to disturb the public peace.

According to a short statement issued by the Police, the suspect is to report to the Ashanti Regional Police Command in Kumasi to assist with the investigation.

"We urge the public, particularly media practitioners, to exercise utmost caution and responsibility and refrain from publishing false news which is likely to disturb public peace before, during and after the upcoming general elections," the statement advised.
