Address Hajia Fati..."This Nonsense Must Stop"! - Sefa Kayi To NPP

Host of Peace FM's Flagship programme "Kokrokoo", Kwami Sefa Kayi has condemned NPP Firebrand Hajia Fati for assaulting a journalist.

Hajia Fati is reported to have physically assaulted Adom FM reporter, Ohemaa Sekyiwaa at the NPP Headquarters.

The assault occurred after Hajia Fati forcefully prevented Sammy Crabbe, a suspended official of the party from picking up forms to contest the NPP’s chairmanship position.

Ohemaa Sekyiwaa narrating the incident in an interview on Kokrokoo on Tuesday stated that she "only went there to do my job and didn't flout any law as I was cooperative. The atmosphere was not too friendly so I wanted to capture the environment. As soon as I took out my camera, Hajia Fati smashed my phone and heavily punched me. We are currently looking at the law to possibly take a legal action against her".

In a radio interview, Hajia also explained her actions saying she thought the reporter was Sammy Crabbe’s understrapper who has been contracted by her boss to take pictures of her for ulterior motives, adding that she looked more like an “onion seller” than a reporter.

The woman standing there did not look like a reporter. I thought it was one of Sammy Crabbe’s women who wanted to take pictures of me. The lady did not look like a reporter. She resembled an onion seller. She did not look like a reporter at all,” she said.

Addressing the issue, Mr. Sefa Kayi cautioned the NPP to bring Hajia Fati to order.

He wondered why the party seems to be afraid to issue punitive measures against her to ensure she stops putting up such violent demeanor.

Mr. Sefa Kayi sent a strong signal to the NPP that the journalism fraternity may boycott the party if it doesn't sanction Hajia over this issue and other matters involving her.

This whole thing is not about Sammy Crabbe. It’s a fact that if Sammy Crabbe hadn’t gone there, this might not have happened but it is not about Sammy Crabbe. It is about the behaviour of a woman in your party at your headquarters who has constantly displayed a particular attitude you are all privy to. Address Hajia Fati! That is where the issue is...This nonsense must stop!” he stressed.
