Wontumi Communications has responded to widespread reports suggesting the National Communications Authority (NCA) has ordered a shutdown of its operations. The media company, which operates Wontumi Radio and TV and is known for its outspoken political content, issued a strongly worded statement addressing the controversy while reaffirming its commitment to continue broadcasting.

In a release titled “Ahomasoɔ 24/7—Our Voice, Our Spirit, Our Resilience,” the company denied claims that it had been permanently silenced. It emphasized that the matter was being addressed through official channels and reassured its audience of its continued presence. The tone of the statement conveyed defiance and confidence, underlining the station’s dedication to free expression and democratic values.

“We remain committed to serving the people with undiluted truth, bold analysis, and unshaken loyalty to the democratic spirit of Ghana,” the release stated. The message concluded with a reaffirmation of the station’s guiding principle—Ahomasoɔ, or unyielding courage.

The situation appears to be linked to regulatory concerns, with reports indicating licensing and content compliance issues. However, no formal confirmation has been provided by the NCA. In response to the uncertainty, supporters of the station have flooded social media with messages of solidarity and frustration. Many expressed strong emotional attachments to the station’s programming, especially its sports and political segments.

Prominent contributors and presenters have also spoken out. Sports analyst Obrempong Kwaku Ampomah described the network as a powerful voice for the public, while political commentator Maame Afia Nyarko made a direct appeal to regulators during a livestream, urging fair treatment and warning against silencing independent voices.

As the standoff unfolds, the public’s reaction underscores the station’s influence. For many Ghanaians, Wontumi Communications represents more than media—it symbolizes resilience and a refusal to be silenced.
