Managers of the four Radio Stations shut down by the National Communications Authority (NCA) in Bawku say they will petition both the NCA and the National Media Commission (NMC) over the closure.
The NCA, in a statement, shut down Bawku FM, Source FM, Zahra FM, and Gumah FM, all in Bawku, Upper East Region, based on the advice of the National Security Council.
The NCA insists that the incendiary utterances of panelists and presenters of the radio stations have contributed to the escalation of the Bawku conflict, leading to the loss of lives and property in the area. Managers of the stations say they will petition the NCA and the Media Commission on the shutdown.
In an interview with GBC News, Managers of the four radio stations emphasised that the NCA did not engage the media houses on any of the allegations.
They announced that they are going to petition the NCA and also lodge a formal complaint with the National Media Commission.
They further blamed the Regional Security Council, RESEC, and the Municipal Security Council, MUSEC, for the closure of their radio stations.
