The National Media Commission (NMC) has written a letter to the National Communications Authority (NCA) drawing the latter's attention to the need to suspend the authorisation of Onua TV and Onua FM for their attacks on certain personalities and institutions.
"The two stations have become the soundtrack to hateful rhetoric carefully orchestrated to incite ethnic division, provoke mutiny in the armed forces and prey upon the youth for insurrection against the state. They have systematically sought to subvert critical national institutions including the Council of State and the Ghana Armed Forces in a manner that constitutes clear and present danger to the public interest" the NMC said in a statement signed by its Executive Secretary, George Sarpong.
"Many attempts have been made to correct the stations and to prevent them from their harmful broadcast. All has been to no avail...As regulators, we cannot wait anymore for the worst to happen" the Commission stated further.

The major culprit in all these is CM, which is why he turned in his resignation a few days ago. The guy has caused a lot of problems for the station and the general public. The mgt of Onua must sit up and do the right thing.
@Kwame, Gee and Ali: I think the best is to also produce those Tapes from any other media house, Wuntomi, Ash FM, Oman FM and the like, that you deem has the potential to plunge our nation into chaos and anarchy and report it to the NMC for them to take action. If they have not done so in the past but has started, why keep slamming them for doing their constitutionally mandated job? Keep protecting such msdia houses and make the NMC a Toothless Bull Dog and see its consequences. When you present it and they (NMC) refuse to act the Social Media is there to descend on them with all our might. Why are you closing your eyes to the arrogance of this media house (Onua)? They do that because gullible people like you are there to support and encourage them to achieve their underlining political goal at the expense of national security and individual rights.
We need peace
This is becoming worse intimidation to highest power , selective justices ,tribalism , autocracy covering as democracy, killer of our traditions etc O Kuffour's NPP. God have mercy on Ghana God visit our greedy Leaders God save Ghana
NMC kindly listen to Wontumi, Ash Fm, Oman and get back with response
Does NMC listen to Wontumi Radio and Oman FM? They do the worst but the NMC pretends not to hear what these stations do. NPP claims they are a democratic party but they are terrorists parading themselves as politicians. ***barred word***
They should NEVER give their frequency to them under the same name! They are akin to Radio Rwanda!
