K’si Traditional Council denies asking Oyerepa FM to shut down
“We didn’t force management of Oyerepa to shut down their radio station,”
The Kumasi Traditional Council (KTC) has said it never forced the management of Oyerepa FM to shut down operations.
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s linguist Baafuo Kantankrankyi told a high-level delegation including the Ghana Journalists Association that the statement made last Thursday was a piece of advice.
“We didn’t force management of Oyerepa to shut down their radio station,” he said.
“We only advised them that for the respect they have for Asantehene, they should just do that which they complied.”
Oyerepa on Monday appeared before the Kumasi Traditional Council to plead.
The management of the Kumasi-based station was led by the Chief of Asokore Mampong and the former Chairman of the National Peace Council, Most Reverend Emmanuel Asante.
An earlier approach made by the management is what saw the instruction to shut operations.
The Kumasi Traditional Council has asked the management of Kumasi-based radio station, Oyerepa FM, to halt its operations effective Friday, August 26 until further notice.

The station has come under fire for apparently allowing Akwasi Addai Odike to attack the Asantehene on the menace of illegal mining.
