Yesterday two people were arrested here at UTV for being sent to kill.

She continued, “It’s unfair, they claim we changed the election results which I really disgust. In 2012, the New Patriotic Party felt cheated and they took the case to court and then peacefully retracted their statements and attacks to stay in power.

She added: “So why can’t the NDC do the same and leave the media out of this? Our cameraman from a polling station had to escape for his dear life with a “pragia” car. It’s so boring because we are doing our job. For me, I am ready to die for the truth. When I’m gone, someone will come and finish it for me.
