Good Morning Ghana host Ransford Annetey Abbey, also known as Randy Abbey, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, managing editor of the Insight Newspaper, and one other panelist narrowly escaped an armed attack during the live broadcast this morning.
Armed men attempted to force their way into the METRO TV studio, injuring one of the security guards in the process as the attackers tried to breach the studio.
The situation caused immediate disruption, but quick action from security and METRO TV staff ensured the safety of everyone inside the studio.
According to Randy Abbey, the show had to cut to an abrupt break due to the incident, and viewers could still hear the commotion unfolding live on air.
Speaking during the broadcast, Randy Abbey explained, “You realized that we had an abrupt break, we actually took a break, maybe you can still hear some noise out there, it has to do with some armed men, armed policemen, and other persons who were trying to forcibly enter the studio here.”
“We do not know what it’s for, but they were trying to forcibly enter the studio, and our private security is trying to prevent them, and a couple of them are injured,” he added.
Thankfully, the armed men were reportedly thwarted before they could gain full access to the studio. Authorities are currently investigating the incident.
