The Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest of Kwabena Bobbie Ansah of Accra FM on Thursday.

According to a communique released on Friday by the Police, the Host of ‘The Citizen Show’ was apprehended by the Accra Regional Police Command in connection with an alleged case of publication of false news and offensive conduct.

The Police added that Bobbie Ansah’s arrest became necessary after he turned down several invitations from the Service.

               Background:

Kwabena Bobbie Ansah was picked up by persons purported to be National Security operatives on Thursday night.

According to a source at the radio station, it appears the men had laid ambush around the premises of the station for the host to end his programme in order for them to pick him up.

“He was ambushed. We don’t know where he is being sent to,” the source said.

Shortly after the arrest, the Producer of the show, Kwame Kwakye, came on air to announce it.

“Kwabena Bobbie Ansah, the Host of ‘The Citizen Show’ and also a staff of CMG, specifically Accra FM, has just been arrested by unknown policemen. We do not know where they’re stationed, neither do we know where they’re taking Bobbie Ansah. We don’t know what his crime is and which police station he’s been sent to. He was picked up right after ‘The Citizen Show’. He was arrested with a National Security car that had police officers in it without identity.”
