The journalist explained that, he didn’t have the contact of the latter officer at cantonments and asked Sup. Asare to furnish him the contact which he did and still have his message on his phone as an evidence.

According to him, apparently he was out of town and was setting off back to Accra, however he did the needful and called the man called Mr Appeatu, where they had a very fruitful discussions on the phone and concluded that they can meet on this coming Monday morning (14th February, 2022).

In view of this, he psyched himself for a Monday meeting only for him to come face to face with such an arrest by the Ghana Police Service.

He notified that, he has the screenshot of the message sent to him by Sup. Asare and will put it out at the appropriate time.

“I am just defusing the falsehood put out in the name of the police service.” He said.
