Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has expressed disappointment in media reports regarding the arrest of a Ghanaian woman for drug offences at the Heathrow Airport in London. Speaking on "Kokrokoo" on Peace FM, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. described as cruel earlier reports that attempted to link one Francisca Adjei, an NDC sympathizer, to the drug trafficking case. Since news broke about a woman named Nayeli Ametefeh who was arrested for trafficking 12.5kgs of cocaine worth millions of pounds at the Heathrow Airport, pictures of Francisca Adjei were splashed all over social media linking her as the one arrested at the Airport. Though she has threatened to sue those behind the mischievous distribution of her picture, Mr. Pratt strongly held that the lady had been unfairly treated and so, was very critical of the "trauma" that Miss Francisca Adjei might have gone through as a result of the misconceptions in the media. To him, those media stations and newspapers that peddled stories involving her should have done their cross-checks to verify first if the lady in question was indeed Francisca Adjei. �We don�t have any right to do that to anybody�It is not fair. It is vicious. And especially, when it�s about political equalization, it�s even worse," he regretted.
