General News of Tuesday, 8 May 2018Source: citinewsroom.comCiti FM to boycott NPP events over assault of journalistHost of the Citi Breakfast Show, Bernard AvleThe Director of News Programming of Citi FM, Bernard Avle, has declared that the station will boycott all events of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) by the end of this week if the party fails to openly react to the attack of a journalist by Haji Fati, a known matriarch of the NPP. Bernard Avle, who is also the host of the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday expressed regret over the loud silence of the party, days after Hajia Fati slapped the journalist for taking a photo around the party’s headquarters in Accra. “If we don’t hear from the NPP within a week on the assault on the Adom FM reporter, we at Citi 97.3 will not cover that political party again…We will not cover their events; we will not interview them. The reported assault occurred after Hajia Fati forcefully prevented Sammy Crabbe, a suspended official of the party, from picking up forms to contest for the NPP’s chairmanship position. I thought it was one of Sammy Crabbe’s women who wanted to take pictures of me.
