Media personality Bridget Otoo has voiced concerns regarding a recent incident where individuals claiming affiliation with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) reportedly intruded into the studios of United Television (UTV) during the "United Showbiz" program.
Bridget Otoo has raised questions regarding the security measures in place, particularly how these individuals were able to gain access to the studio while the show was in progress, causing disruption without undergoing any formal clearance process.
She is urging the management of UTV to release a public statement addressing the circumstances surrounding the intrusion by these individuals. Bridget Otoo seeks clarification on whether the management believes these individuals have any connection to the incident or not.
"So many questions. UTV needs to issue a statement to prove they didn't know anything about this. Does UTV not have security at their station? Can anyone just walk into the UTV studio without going through any clearance? It shouldn't be that easy to enter a TV station like that," she wrote on her Twitter page.
Bridget Otoo continued to express her dissatisfaction, directing criticism at the Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah. She condemned him for not issuing an apology to the Ghanaian public in the wake of the party's alleged involvement in the intrusion of thugs into UTV's premises.
"Yes, I watched Richard Ahiagbah squirm about NPP’s involvement in the attempted attack on A-Plus on live TV. He didn’t apologize. He just said the party didn’t sanction it. Of course, that’s what any communicator would say, but they would pat the boys for a job well done!" she said.
Bridget Otoo's comments came in response to a distressing incident involving alleged individuals with ties to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), who forcibly entered the studios of UTV and abruptly halted the live broadcast of the "United Showbiz" program.
Approximately seven minutes into the live broadcast, there was audible commotion in the background while host Mzgee was introducing the show. The host's evident confusion was followed by an extended interruption in the production, eventually leading to the program being taken off the air.
Following the abrupt interruption, multiple reports emerged indicating that the disruption of the show had been caused by a group of men who had entered the studios with hostile intentions.
These reports suggested that the agitated individuals had specifically entered the studio with the intention of confronting Kwame A Plus, a regular panel member on the show.
Subsequent videos circulating on social media depicted a chaotic scene within the UTV studio, with several men vocally demanding to see A Plus.
"We are waiting for A Plus today... A Plus has to explain to us why he tore our paper from the NPP party. We are here, we are waiting for A Plus. We are protecting our party property," one of the men is heard shouting in the studio.
