Seasoned Journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr has disclosed that he recently received death threats from someone who spoke "impeccable English'.
Some journalists prior to and after the December 7 polls have been receiving death threats and attacks from unknown persons.
Top on the list is Afia Pokua aka Vim Lady of Despite Media, morning show host of Accra-based Angel FM, Captain Smart, investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni and GTV journalist Abdul Hayi Moomen.
Describing the phenomenon as unfortunate, the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, narrated how he also received death threats from a 0508590799 number.
"I had a call last week from someone who spoke impeccable English and he said I looked like the devil's incarnate and that people like me should be eliminated. He said I looked like the devil and that people like me should not be alive
..what was my crime; I only expressed my mind. even under Emperor Bokassa these things were not happening" he fumed.
Kwesi Pratt who was contributing to a panel discussion on Panafrican TV's Good Morning Africa added: "I've seen personalities sitting on television threatening to kill...these are frightening and the police have not invited them. The level of impunity is shocking; it doesn't even happen in a banana republic"
Meanwhile, Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has charged the police to deal with these threats.
“It is of critical importance that our security agencies get to the bottom of these complaints and use all the legitimate means at their disposal to unmask the identities of the culprits; whatever their motives; and arrest and prosecute them with speed,” he said in a tweet.

Indeed, from your past records as exposed by Adabuga during the National Reconciliation Commission meetings and behavior know to all right thinking Ghanaians, you are a very dangerous character and worse than the devil's incanate who must be watched carefully by any serious security agency, but I will agree with you that nobody has the right to threaten you with death whatsoever because it is your right to be treatureous and opportunist with evil mind and hatred for anyone you can't manipulate with your illogical views. That's how you have made a living all your life in this country. But honestly, I smell a stench mischief with this lies being bandied about by this old mischievous serpent Pratt.
Bokasa fed lions with human fresh. So don't compare Ghana today to Bokasa regime. You might not be alive today iif you happened to live under Bokasa regime with this your attitude.
You have always been a devil's incarnate not just now.
Facts are sacred but comments are free. Isn't it? Apart from the close parliamentary results of the Tachiman South, Sefwi Wiaso and AEEC the ndc got all the results right. Ghanaians irrespective of whoever we voted for should ask this simple and straight forward question. Where did the ndc get their parliamentary results just 6 hours after the casting of the last votes (12 midnight)? Are they telling Ghanaians and the world at large that they did not bother to get the presidential election results that said night because they were not interested in it. I stayed up in the election night and listened to the ndc's press release. They intentionally said that the parliamentary results might reflect on the presidential results. Mr Kwasi Pratt and his people know definitely that they lost the presidency but they are just trying to throw dust into our eyes. Enough is enough.
The name on the line 0508590799 is DR. ALFRED AJAI (ADJEI)
Kwesi Pratt has become his own enemy. What does he seek to denote here by extention, emphatically decrying death threat astonishly frome somebody, by his, Kwesi's assertion , whose command of the Queen's language is impeccable. Therefore, not right for that criminality. Since when had the english language proficiency become a determining factor for a criminal activity. The ardent Nkrumahist, anticolonialist should come again. For Kwesi's imagination, if you don't speak good english, then, you could be a criminal who threats to kill others and that would not be a big deal to comprehend. The Nkramahism, the African personality had not helped you, Kwesi of all people, set you free frome this colonial white-washing mentality. After the faction good negers speak good english. Kwesi once again come again, for, you can't cut and paste as you please. Be principled and intenally consistent.
Kwesi Prat should stop blowing matters out of proportion . What serious thing is going on in this country that you claim even Bokasa didn't do, oh Kwesi Prat? Why are you so hypocritical like that? Your demeanour, posture, facial expressions always exposes your deep hatred for the NPP and I am really amazed why you are like that. You must stop that behaviour because it will not take you anywhere.
talking all out nothing to mr pratt are you not tired?? what have u done for mother Ghana??
