I have been suspended for 1 month but I never insulted the President - Captain Smart
Radio host Blessed Godsbrain Smart, alias Captain Smart has denied ever insulting government officials on Angel FM's Anopa Bɔfoɔ Morning Show.
Recounting the events that led to his one-month suspension from the radio station, Captain Smart said his suspension letter signed by the owner of the station Dr Kwaku Oteng directs him to go off air for using harsh words on government officials including President Akufo-Addo, the Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), James Oppong-Boanuh.
According to him in an earlier conversation with Dr Oteng, he denied the concerns but when he started the show on May 6, 2021, he was called to go off the air and start his suspension.
