Host of Peace FM's Flagship programme "Kokrokoo", Kwami Sefa Kayi has condemned NPP Firebrand Hajia Fati for assaulting a journalist.
Hajia Fati is reported to have physically assaulted Adom FM reporter, Ohemaa Sekyiwaa at the NPP Headquarters.
The assault occurred after Hajia Fati forcefully prevented Sammy Crabbe, a suspended official of the party from picking up forms to contest the NPP’s chairmanship position.
Ohemaa Sekyiwaa narrating the incident in an interview on Kokrokoo on Tuesday stated that she "only went there to do my job and didn't flout any law as I was cooperative. The atmosphere was not too friendly so I wanted to capture the environment. As soon as I took out my camera, Hajia Fati smashed my phone and heavily punched me. We are currently looking at the law to possibly take a legal action against her".
In a radio interview, Hajia also explained her actions saying she thought the reporter was Sammy Crabbe’s understrapper who has been contracted by her boss to take pictures of her for ulterior motives, adding that she looked more like an “onion seller” than a reporter.
“The woman standing there did not look like a reporter. I thought it was one of Sammy Crabbe’s women who wanted to take pictures of me. The lady did not look like a reporter. She resembled an onion seller. She did not look like a reporter at all,” she said.
Addressing the issue, Mr. Sefa Kayi cautioned the NPP to bring Hajia Fati to order.
He wondered why the party seems to be afraid to issue punitive measures against her to ensure she stops putting up such violent demeanor.
Mr. Sefa Kayi sent a strong signal to the NPP that the journalism fraternity may boycott the party if it doesn't sanction Hajia over this issue and other matters involving her.
“This whole thing is not about Sammy Crabbe. It’s a fact that if Sammy Crabbe hadn’t gone there, this might not have happened but it is not about Sammy Crabbe. It is about the behaviour of a woman in your party at your headquarters who has constantly displayed a particular attitude you are all privy to. Address Hajia Fati! That is where the issue is...This nonsense must stop!” he stressed.

This woman should not be allowed to misbehave. The best thing the journalist can do is to retaliate any attack on them. It is too much. It looks like it is a crime to be a journalist. She is a big disgrace to Ghana and her party.

Can i start taking photographs of kwame sefa kayi at his favorite spot whiles he is cooling down with bottles on his table just because i am a journalist?
Kwame Sefa, is ok to just intrude into your studios and start taking photos of you? Can the non.sen.se juornalism stop too. Or feel your freedom has no limits.
Next time she will come after u Safa Kai
The media house and the GJA if they have vim/b**ls should have sued the Police and the Hajia long ago. In such a suite, the Ghana police and the N.P.P. should be attached for special effect.

I am not a public interest person and very private. I will be alarmed if I am sitting down somewhere and I see flashes of pictures been taken of me
Stop calling political ***barred word*** FIREBRANDS
I am not in any way condoning the attacks on the Multi-Media Journalists but I think there should be some checks on these so called journalists especially at Adom FM. People speak at Adom FM as if they OWN Ghana especially that lady/ladies on the morning show with Captain Smart. You are to review News Papers in the Morning but these Village Champions from Berekum Cato speaks with Sentiments and attacks as if they are specialists on every field. Listen to that lady called AYB, ie Afia Boakyewaa Yiadom; she sounds so bad but it is as if there's no one watching over the workers at Multi-Media. She speaks as if she knows everything but I wish she will hear herself back and see how FOLLY she sounds. Watch your ways Multi-Media. Why not Despite Groups or any other Media Group? From the attacks at Police Headquarters to the NHIS to NPP HQ; what is it that could be done better? Sit your guys down and give them the Ethics of Journalism.
