Background
The host of Battle Ground on Power 97.9 FM, Oheneba Boamah Bennie, has been convicted to 14 days in prison by an Accra High Court (Criminal Court 2).
The broadcaster was fined GHS 3000 on Tuesday morning by a court presided over by Justice Elfreda Dankyi.
Last year, Bennie was charged with contempt of court by Attorney General Godfred Dame. Following the Electoral Commission's (EC) announcement of President Akufo-Addo as President-elect, Bennie purportedly posted a video on his Facebook page alleging that President Akufo-Addo met with and persuaded eight Supreme Court justices, led by the Chief Justice.
