CMG arson attack: Media fraternity too quiet - Security expert
Mr Anthony Acquaye, the Executive Director of the Centre for Security Dialogue, has voiced his apprehension regarding the media's response to the petrol-bombing incident at the Labone headquarters of Class Media Group (CMG) on Thursday, April 25, 2024, during the early hours of the morning.
Expressing his concerns, Mr Acquaye argued the media had been silent regarding the incident, noting it is a worrying development.
He questioned whether the lack of attention was due to the nature of the attack involving a petrol-bomb.
Mr Acquaye stressed the seriousness of the situation, however, emphasising that a petrol-bomb was, in essence, an actual bomb.
He warned that had the bomb detonated near any explosive material, the outcome could have been far more catastrophic than what was reported.
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Mr Acquaye urged the media fraternity to unite against such attacks on their establishments.
He emphasised that the potential danger posed by a petrol-bomb should not be underestimated and called on the media to pressure the police administration to take decisive measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
In conclusion, Mr Acquaye stressed the need for solidarity within the media community, cautioning that what happened to CMG could happen to any other station in the future if such acts are not addressed promptly and effectively.
