Bullet TV, Atinka journalists allegedly assaulted while covering Laboma Beach demolition
Three journalists covering the aftermath of the demolition exercise at Laboma Beach in Accra have allegedly been assaulted by private security personnel believed to be affiliated with the facility.
Three journalists from Bullet TV and Atinka FM, covering the laboma beach demolition, claim they were assaulted by private security personnel on September 15, 2026. According to the journalists, Philip Abutiate from Bullet TV, Ohenenana Ofori Amanfo from Atinka FM, and their cameraman Bernard Gyamfi, they were denied entry to the demolition site.
When they crossed the road to record a stand-up, two men allegedly approached and attacked them. Mr. Abutiate alleges that one of the assailants shoved him, seized his microphone, smudged it on the ground, seized his cameraman's equipment, and attempted to grab his phone and pull out underground cables. The journalists intend to report the alleged assault to authorities, expressing concern over the safety of media practitioners covering public-interest operations.
