KUMASI – An NPP activist has been arrested for questioning by the police in Kumasi for insulting President John Evans Atta Mills. The man who goes by the name High Priest described the president’s face as that of a “chimpanzee” during a radio discussion on a Kumasi-based station, Foxx FM on Monday.
The man whose real name is not immediately known is said to be a French teacher at an Islamic School at Akwatia Line in Kumasi. Panelists on the morning show programme are reported to have prevailed upon High Priest to withdraw the comment but he refused, following which some supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress marched to the radio station ostensibly to attack him.
They were only stopped by security at the station before the arrival of the police to escort him to the Regional Police command.
