He was arrested yesterday, February 10, 2022, by the Accra Regional Police Command in connection with an alleged case of publication of false news and offensive conduct.
The police said his arrest became necessary after he turned down several invitations from the Police and others involved in the case to assist with investigation.
Information available to DGN Online indicates that he was arrested in connection with a post he made on his Facebook timeline, in which he claimed that the “current judiciary is corrupt and made up of crooks and criminals led by a corrupt Chief Justice who’s struggling to purge himself of a $5 million thievery allegation”.

Shortly after the arrest, the Producer of the show, Kwame Kwakye, came on air to announce that “Kwabena Bobbie Ansah, the Host of ‘The Citizen Show’ and also a staff of CMG, specifically Accra FM, has just been arrested by unknown policemen. We do not know where they’re stationed, neither do we know where they’re taking Bobbie Ansah. We don’t know what his crime is and which police station he’s been sent to. He was picked up right after ‘The Citizen Show’. He was arrested with a National Security car that had police officers in it without identity.”
He becomes the third journalist to have been arrested in recent times over what is said to be disparaging remarks.

Had it not been that Journalism has become so so cheap that goons like Bobie Ansah could become a journalist. How on earth do you have to denigrate our Judges and the Judiciary system? You go about running your buccal cavity and when the law catches up with you you say what! Freedom of speech doesn't guarantee you to say things about people you cannot substantiate with evidence. One that journalist of Bobie type should understand is that, Ghana a country governed by laws backed by the constitution so you cannot through your selfish political interest go about running your mouth like running water. The law should deal with him to serve as a deterrent to those who have harbored such intentions. What annoys me is the comment the former president JDM made about Nana Addo concerning this issue. What pre-empt the jailing of the montie 3 during his tenure? My advice to my fellow Ghanaians is that JDM has unfished agenda. He wants to come back and loot the coffers of Ghana because he cannot be arrested and jailed as a results of the devilish indemnity clause instituted by the late Papa J. Ghanaians should be wide awake and not make a mistake of bringing him back. He should give another person in his party the chance to market himself for future elections.
I THINK THE WHIP SHOULD BE CRACKED HARDER TO SAFEGUARD OUR SOCIETY
