Musician, Kwame A-Plus, has lashed out at the Head of Corporate Communications, Ghana National Gas Company, Mr Ernest Owusu-Bempah Bonsu, for allegedly orchestrating the unathorised intrusion of UTV.

A group affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) stormed the UTV studios last Saturday, October 7, 2023, during the live broadcast of its entertainment program, United Showbiz shortly after it commenced.

The show then abruptly went off air while commercials filled the screen. The group trooped in to demand the removal of Kwame A-Plus, from the programme for tearing up a letter said to be from the communication wing of the NPP.

Videos of the incident went viral on social media, with many condemning the intrusion, while others questioned the state of security at the media house.

Reacting to the incident, Kwame A-Plus revealed that he had received word that Ernest Owusu-Bempah led the group to the media house.

Peeved by this news, A-Plus used slanderous words against the Ghana Gas worker and threatened to deal with him should such a thing recur.

"I've heard that Ernest Owusu-Bempah was the one who sent the boys here. That is what I've heard. I'm just hoping that it is not true.But if it is true, it took him two weeks to organize those people. I came here with three pick-ups of boys. It took me less than 30 minutes to call boys to UTV.

"Owusu Bempah, of you do that thing again I'll organize boys and I'll bring them to Ghana Gas. I'm telling you this.When we were campaigning for Akufo-Addo you were an NDC member. You were following Nana Konadu. He is a very stupid boy. When we campaigned for Akufo-Addo you were not part of it.

"And he has been making calls and threats everyday. I'm not afraid of him. I'm warning Owusu Bempah, in this country called Ghana, the very person who attacks NPP is Honourable Kennedy Agyapong. He can call the Vice President and the President tell them that he will give them a show down. And you stupid boy, none of you have been able to attack him and you can come here and think that we are scared of you, he said.

A-Plus issued the threat on UTV after the anauthorised intrusion was addressed.

Meanwhile, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has distanced itself from the invasion of UTV studios by some of its members.

In response to the brouhaha, the leadership of the New Patriotic Party has rendered an apology to UTV, noting that it would cooperate with the police to investigate the matter.

Director of Communications for the NPP, Richard Ahiagbah, who engaged the press noted that the party did not sanction anyone to go and disrupt the United Showbiz programme.

He is quoted to have said “We think that the attack is unacceptable, and it’s condemnable.”

On the other hand, 16 individuals said to be involved in the attack have been arrested.
