How GJA CONDEMNS THE RAMBO-STYLE ARREST OF ONUATV'S CAPTAIN SMART.

The Ghana Journalists Association (GIA) condemna in no uncertain terms the Rambo-Style arrest of

Onus TV's Godsbrain Smart aka Captain Smart by Operatives of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB)

It will be recalled that on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, NIB operatives stopped Captain Smart on his way home from work and whisked him away to an unknown destination. The GJA believes that sinceCaptain Smart was not a fugitive, the NIB operatives could have used civil means to invite him for questioning

The GIA acknowledges the mandate of the NIB as enshrined in the 1992 constitution but is appalled by

the Rambo style deployed by the NIB to arrest Captain Smart, assuming without admitting that Captain Smart arred on the side of the law. Repugnant actions such as the one exhibited by the NIB must stop as it exposes Ghana to international ridicule Additionally, the arrest of Captain Smart sends worrying signals, especially, so international media watchers who still regard Ghana as a reference point of press theedom and democracy in Africa and this

will continue to affect our world Press Freedom ranking, a ranking which Ghana dipped massively and

must, at this time he seen to be working hard to restore its place on the ranking. We must not, and dare

not slide further but rise higher on the league table of free media systems on the continent and the world

as a whole

We also call on our local and international media partners, including the International Federation of Journalists (IFF), the Federation of African Journalists (FAI), and Rapporteur San Frontier (Reporters Without Borders), as well as the diplomatic community in Ghana, to condemn the arrests and actions taken by state institutions to intimidate or gay journalists in the country

We need as a country, particularly state institution to work to protect and safeguard the peace and the rights of lounanists in this country.

The GIA, however, would want to advise all Journalists to be guided by the code of conduct and ethics of the practice and carry out their constitutional mandate as agents of development without fear or favour.

We equally admonish Captain Smart to eschew comments that disturb the peace of the country but be encouraged to discharge his duties professionally.
