Caleb Kudah Gained Access To National Security Premises By Lying – Chief Director

The National Security Ministry has revealed that Citi FM journalist, Caleb Kudah, was insincere about his identity when he visited the Ministry on Tuesday, May 11.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Chief Director of National Security Secretariat, Lt. Col. Ababio Serebour (Rtd), stated that Mr Kudah gained access to the National Security Building under false pretenses.

“Mr Kudah was detected on the said day, filming within the precincts of a national security installation contrary to the “no photography” rules at such restricted security zones. Upon interrogation, it was revealed that Mr. Kudah had gained access to the premises under false pretenses,” he said.

Mr Kudah was on Tuesday detained for unlawfully filming abandoned state vehicles at the premises of the National Security Ministry.

After detaining the Back Page host, about seven heavily armed officers stormed the premises of the Adabraka-based radio station in a Rambo-style with the intention to whisk away his colleague, Zoe Abu-Baidoo whom they claimed had received files from Mr Kudah.

After his release, the Citi FM journalist claimed that during the interrogation, the operatives pushed and kicked him in the groin.

He added that he was slapped repeatedly by the operatives till he felt dizzy.

Reacting to these allegations, Lt. Col. Serebour stated that the Ministry upholds the rights and freedoms of the citizenry and always strives to maintain the ethics and professional standards guiding operational duties.

The Ministry will, therefore, interrogate the matter.
