On October 20, 2023, several military officers in Akim Oda, eastern Ghana, assaulted journalist Nicholas Morkah of Akyemansa FM. Morkah was filming them as they assaulted a young man. When the military realized Morkah was recording their brutalities, they punched him, hit him, and drove him to their barracks, where they forcefully reset his phone and cleared all stored information. The military also searched his other mobile device. They interrogated him about his work and charged him with offensive conduct and released him on bail.
