Kotoko Confirms Meeting with Multimedia Group
Asante Kotoko SC has confirmed it has held a meeting with the leadership of Multimedia Group after blacklisting Asempa FM, a subsidiary.
In a Facebook post, Kotoko said it received a delegation from the media group led by the General Manager, Abdulai Awudu.
“The purpose of their visit was to express their displeasure regarding the shameful conduct of their employee, ‘Prof’ EK Wallace, on the subject of the painful demise of our beloved supporter, Francis Yaw Frimpong.”
The leadership informed the club of its initiated internal disciplinary actions against the journalist and further assured the club of cooperating with the Ghana Police Service.
Background
Kotoko banned the Accra-based radio station as a response to the “blatant disregard for professionalism, journalistic ethics, and integrity” by its sports programme host EK Wallace and the broader management.
The concerns related to some remarks by the host about the killing of Nana Pooley, a Kotoko supporter during their last game at Nsoatre.
According to Kotoko, the sports programme was deliberately orchestrated to serve an agenda of shielding individuals connected to the gruesome murder of their beloved supporter, Francis Yaw Frimpong (Pooley).
It faulted the media organisation and the host for failing to disclose the content of the programme to the Ghana Police Service or any security agency before or after the broadcast, despite the serious nature of the case.
