Communications adviser and the host of Metro TV's ‘Good Evening Ghana’ show, Paul Adom Otchere became the subject of ridicule and humiliation after being dressed down by Starr FM’s Nii Arday Clegg on live radio.
Mr. Adom Otchere allegedly claimed in an interview with Bola Ray on Star Chat Tuesday that the Starr FM Morning host, Arday Clegg, once took an Interim Assessment (IA) for him during their first degree days at the University of Ghana, Legon.
Nii Arday Clegg did not take kindly to words of the ‘Good Evening Ghana’ show host and confronted him in a phone call. Paul admitted the statement was false and apologised to the StarrFM Morning show host.
The story, however, did not end there as Nii Arday Clegg called Mr. Adom Otchere and chastised him on live radio the following day calling the latter ‘evil’ and a 'liar'. Paul Adom Otchere admitted his wrongdoing and apologised to the StarrFM Morning Show host during a live phone-in session on Wednesday to clear the air.
The development has shocked many people including former journalist of the year, Manasseh Azure Awuni.

My jaw dropped when I heard a voice recording of Nii Arday Clegg, host of the Starr FM morning show. I cringed when, live on radio, he called Paul Adom Otchere "evil" and a "liar." He alleged that Paul Adom Otchere had lied about him (Arday Clegg) on Bola Ray's show, Starr Chat. He said he got angry and confronted Paul on phone and Paul admitted he had lied. All this sounded too strange to believe until he raised Paul Adom Otchere on phone.
Would Paul defend his statement or admit he lied? He admitted he lied and apologised to Nii Arday Clegg.
It may be Paul Adom Otchere's bad day but this presents a huge lessons for us journalists and those of us who have the opportunity to be on radio and television. Not all the people we lie about may have the platform like Nii Arday Clegg to defend themselves, but we will not escape the dreaded punishment of the Righteous Judge if we knowingly lie about others. Let's learn from this.

why at all did Paul have to lie about something of this nature. I felt bad on the night with Bola when he admitted to have been involved in such a mischievous act at sch, and the worst, he was lying?OMG,#integrity matters
paul deserves what he is getting. According to what he said, he cheated his way to get ahead in life. Do you know that by his doing this, he has deprived a more qualified person from obtaining what he has. He cheated and got people to write exams for him in university and in law school And he has the audacity to brag about it in public. Tomorrow, he will come and stand here and attack other people for not being ethical. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulish thieeeeeeeeef. I will shiiiiittttttttt in his mouth when i get running stomach.
Common sense is needed in this incidence
Please resolved this amicably and still maintain friendship . I remember both of you are in the same church. We all grew up in the youth church in ICGC With Dr. Mensa Otabil as our Mentor. If you cannot resolve this , please go to where you both fellowship. Both are children of Dr. Otabil the wise counselor.
As i understand it, robert tried to handle this privately but paul eluded all his pbone calls. Robert was justifiably aggrieved because it impugns that he acted against university and law school rules and it could jeopardise his hard won academic and professional qualifications. Remember, degrees are awarded and can be withdrawn by the institutions. Robert had no choice but refute and rebuke paul in the same public manner that he has been defamed as an exam malpractitioner.
@NANA I agree with u perfectly. friends will step on each others toes once in a while. Do not commend Paul either but the way Robert reacted was as if he has been waiting for this opportunity all his life . Please !
Paul has been exposed big time. My 76 year old mum says he has really come on top. Paul go and eat the mess of pottage that the NDC and JDM doled out to you. You led JDM throughout the interview, you will fall on your own sword. You are finished, integrity is important.
MY GOODNESS!! THIS COMING FROM AZURE??? WORDS FAIL ME.
