The latest to have embarked on JoyNews' documentary titled "The Militia at the Heart of the Nation" is the national organizer of the current nuclear power plant, which blames it for embellishment.

Sammi Awuku said Thursday: "Without disrespect towards Multimedia Group Limited and the famous journalist [Manbadeh Azure Awuni]on this occasion, I do not agree with him on a matter of principle, not his person but his work. "

Speaking on News Desk, an badysis program of Joy News, Awuku said he was disappointed with the media giant before releasing the video-sponsored previews, which gave the impression of an armed group.

"If you check the trailer, the short video that you showed before you broadcast it, there was a gap, you could not see anyone brandishing weapons, you could not see anyone engaging in hooliganism or acts of terror. "

Awuku also said that the description of the group, De-Eye, as a militia was inappropriate. According to him, the scenes of the documentary do not support such a violent tag.

Referring to the peaceful references of the De-Eye group, he stated that their exploits in the past, condemning the "attacks on the Tamale University Hospital and subsequently condemning the activities of the Delta Force, must be cited for praise.

The Joy News documentary revealed how a militia pro-new patriotic party formed at Osu Castle.

The undercover work revealed how a former bodyguard of the president had led the formation of the De-Eye militia group in a security zone, the Osu Castle, an extension of the government headquarters.

In operation for two years, Manbadeh found that the group had already ensured the security of a number of party functions in which the president had taken part.

One of the leaders of the group, Nana Wireko Addo, in the infiltration work that followed one of these functions, conveyed the warm impressions of President Akufo-Addo to the group when he badured the security of an event organized at the International Conference Center in 2018.

The documentary shocked some segments of the public, especially when President Akufo-Addo himself charged the two main political parties – NPP and NDC – to meet and find a solution to the threat posed by partisan militias. in the country. .

The minority in Parliament demands the immediate resignation of the president, saying that he has "Lost moral rights" to occupy the highest office of the country.

But the government will not have any of this.

At a press conference, Oppong Nkrumah, also member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, denied that young men and women who visit the castle three times a week – Monday, Wednesday and Friday – are a militia group in formation.

He added that describing the castle as a security zone, as in the Joynews documentary, is upsetting.

"The narrative in the Manbadeh promotion, in particular, that evokes Osu Castle as a" security zone ", used to train militias and militia, is extremely disturbing," said the minister.

"Indeed, if this group was still operating from the castle, the commission of inquiry that is currently examining the events of the election Ayawaso West Wuogon would not she noticed now," he wonders .
