Ignite Media Group (IMG), operators of Metro TV, Original TV, and Original 91.1 FM, have strongly condemned an armed invasion of its premises by an auctioneer, a court bailiff, and armed police officers on Wednesday (27 November)
The incident, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. at IMG’s North Ridge offices in Accra, disrupted a live broadcast of the Good Morning Ghana programme.
According to an IMG statement, George Addo, the Director of Geld Mart and the auctioneer leading the group, forcibly entered the studio alongside the bailiff and armed officers, announcing his intent to halt the broadcast. Their actions resulted in the abrupt termination of the live programme.
IMG revealed that this was not George Addo’s first controversial attempt to execute a court judgment. Last year, he allegedly led a team of masked police officers in an aborted attempt to seize Dr Randy Abbey’s vehicle as he arrived to host Good Morning Ghana.
The latest incident caused panic among Metro TV staff and security personnel. A private security officer sustained a head injury during the confrontation due to the excessive force used.
The situation escalated until the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, intervened. Dr. Dampare dispatched a police team to restore order, directing the auctioneer, bailiff, and armed officers to vacate IMG’s premises. He also assured IMG of a thorough investigation and enhanced security measures.
In its statement, IMG emphasized the importance of lawful and respectful execution of court orders. The media group condemned the intimidation and disruption caused by the invasion, calling for accountability and justice to prevent future occurrences.
