The Kumasi Traditional Council has directed the resumption of operation by Oyerepa FM.
This was after management of the Kumasi-based radio station was led by the Asokore Mampong chief and the former Chairman of the National Peace Council, Reverend Professor Emmanuel Asante, to Manhyia to apologise again.
This comes after the radio station was shut down for four days.
The station closed at the request of the Council as a show of remorse for allowing Akwasi Addai ‘Odike’ to use their platform to verbally attack traditional authority.
The Kumasi Traditional Council says its instructions for Oyerepa FM to stop operations was not to compel the management to do so.
The former head of the Peace Council, Prof. Emmanuel Asante added his voice to the plea.
He reveals stringent measures have been put in place to ensure panel members on the radio shows do not get opportunities to disrespect authority.
Some officials of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) led by President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour also spotted at the Manhyia Palace to hold a meeting with the Kumasi Traditional Council over the closure of Oyerepa Fm.
All fourteen divisional chiefs of the Kumasi Traditional Council pleaded with the leader of the Council, Banatamahene Baffour Amankwatia VI to forgive them.
Bantamahene who chairs the Kumasi Traditional Council said the plea will be forwarded to the Asantehene.
