The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has asked the media
to ignore calls to boycott a planned press conference to be addressed by the
family of Black Stars Captain, Asamoah Gyan. The Managing
Director of the Graphic Communications Group, Ken Ashigtbey, whose reporter,
Daniel Kenu was assaulted by Baffuor Gyan, in a facebook post, called on
reporters to boycott the press conference. But speaking to Citi News,
the General Secretary of the GJA, David Agbenu said the media has to give a
fair hearing to the Gyans. The press briefing which is scheduled to take place
today is expected to address questions on the disappearance of Hiplife artiste,
Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known as Castro The family is also expected to make
a statement on Baffour Gyan’s assault case against Graphic’s reporter, Daniel
Kenu. Daniel Kenu was allegedly assaulted by former Black Stars striker,
Baffour Gyan, a day before the team played its opening 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Uganda. Daniel Kenu however
dropped the assault charges, citing health and other personal reasons. The GJA
and the Graphic Communications group were angered by his actions and are
planning on a possible sanction. A former Chairman of the Ghana Football
Association (GFA), Dr Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has also urged the state to pursue the assault case meted
out by Baffour Gyan against the reporter.
