Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has revealed that he swiftly mobilized a group of supporters in response to the invasion of UTV studios by alleged thugs affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP). A Plus, who is also an activist and musician, made this revelation following the incident that disrupted the live broadcast of the United Showbiz program on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
During the disruption, over a dozen individuals stormed the UTV studio, demanding the whereabouts of A Plus. They indicated that they were seeking him due to his role in tearing a letter addressed to the management of UTV, which had called for reforms to the United Showbiz program.
A Plus, who was not present in the studio during the attack, shared details of his response to the incident. He disclosed that he had quickly mobilized a group of supporters and brought them to UTV. He emphasized the efficiency of his response, stating that it took him less than 30 minutes to assemble his team.
In a bold message directed at the alleged instigators of the attack, A Plus warned against any future actions of a similar nature. He stated, “Owusu-Bempah, if you do that thing again, I will organize supporters, and I will bring them to Ghana Gas.”
A Plus’s swift response and mobilization of supporters have added a new dimension to the incident, underscoring the importance of protecting media activities and freedom of expression in Ghana. The incident and its aftermath have raised questions about the role of political party officials and activists in shaping the discourse surrounding media and democratic values in the country.
