Security agencies have taken action to shut down Salt 95.9 FM in Agogo, with the specific reason for the closure currently undisclosed.
Reports suggest that security officers raided the station on Tuesday, disconnecting equipment to enforce the shutdown.
The station’s owner, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, had reportedly organized a health walk in Agogo on Sunday, February 4, 2024.
However, security agencies intervened at the last minute, citing the Public Order Act and claiming that Frimpong had not properly notified the police about the public gathering and street procession.
The closure of the radio station has sparked speculation and discussions within the Agogo community.
On Tuesday afternoon, a crowd gathered at the station, seeking information about the unfolding events.
Some youth, adorned with red arm bands, engaged in festive dancing accompanied by brass band music at the station’s frontage. Further updates on this situation are expected.
