Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has accused National Security of storming airport in search of him
Media broadcaster and personality, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, has made serious allegations against the National Security, accusing them of employing what he describes as ‘intimidation tactics.’
In a public post on his Facebook wall on Monday, March 3, 2025, Afrifa-Mensah alleged that he received reliable intelligence informing him that operatives from the state security apparatus had stormed the country’s airport in search of him.
According to him, he has no knowledge of the intentions behind the search for him, by the operatives, particularly at the airport.
However, he added that the act was part of a ploy by the government to allegedly silence him from speaking out on national issues.
“Last night, I was informed that national security operatives descended upon the airport, searching for me. I don’t know what their intentions are, but it is obvious the government will employ all tactics to keep journalists/activists like me shut,” he posted.
The controversial journalist further announced his readiness and willingness to answer for his statements and actions if called upon by the state.
He called on the security apparatus to cease resorting to such tactics that intimidate and instill fear in people.
“If the authorities genuinely believe they have a case against me, they should invite me for questioning, which I am ready any day, rather than resorting to these outdated, Machiavellian tactics designed to instill fear and intimidate citizens,” he added.
Afrifa-Mensah also said that the approach used by these agencies will not silence him.
“I will not be silenced or cowed by these strong-arm methods. We shall stand up for our constitutional rights and uphold the law without being bullied,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, the National Security is yet to respond to the allegation leveled against them.
