Nana Yaa Brefo, a prominent media personality in Ghana, has expressed her disapproval of Auntie Naa's interview techniques, particularly when discussing marital issues on the radio.
She has identified certain behaviours of Auntie Naa on the Oyerepa Afutuo program as unprofessional and not in line with media standards.
Yaa Brefo highlighted a specific incident on live radio where Auntie Naa encouraged a rape victim to slap the perpetrator, an action Yaa Brefo condemns as abuse and assault.
Speaking on Onua TV, Yaa Brefo recalled, "I appreciate some aspects of Auntie Naa's work, though I have reservations about her. I've seen her show where a rape victim and the perpetrator were present in the studio. She instructed the girl to slap the man during the live broadcast.
"That's completely wrong, constituting abuse and assault. It's inappropriate to act this way once the offender has acknowledged his fault. Auntie Naa was the one urging the girl to slap the man. This isn't journalism; it's emotionally driven speech. Insulting others on the radio is also highly incorrect and unacceptable."
Regarding the interview with Yaw Sarpong's wife, Yaa Brefo criticized Auntie Naa's decision to proceed with the broadcast despite being aware of Sarpong's health struggles.
"With Yaw Sarpong's wife's interview, she could have chosen not to air it because she was informed about the issues beforehand. Knowing very well that Sarpong is battling health issues," she added.
This comes after an interview where a woman who claims to be Yaw Saropong's wife, Adwoa Penamang, revealed to Auntie Naa how the family has mistreated and neglected her since her husband's illness began.
She also expressed her distress over her husband's family allowing Maame Tiwaa to care for Yaw Sarpong, leaving her neglected.
The interview has received criticism from some members of the public who feel it was unnecessary and should not have been conducted.
