The Ghanaian government has shut down seven radio stations, citing security threats and regulatory violations.
Gumah FM in Bawku was specifically targeted due to allegations of inciting violence amid the ongoing conflict in the region.
The other six stations were closed for operating without valid frequency authorization, raising concerns about illegal broadcasting practices.
The shutdown directive was issued by the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, and executed through the National Communications Authority (NCA).
Authorities emphasized that the move is part of a broader effort to maintain national security and enforce media regulations.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting the need for compliance while others see it as an attempt to suppress free speech.
The government has urged all media houses to adhere to licensing and ethical standards to avoid future crackdowns.
