Mahama apologises to assaulted journalist

Former President John Mahama has offered his personal apologies to a Joy FM staff, Kwesi Parker Wilson, his camp has said, following an assault on the journalist by security detail.

It was at the start of Mr Mahama’s five-day tour of the Greater Accra Region ahead of the December 7 presidential primary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“The matter is duly being investigated,” the statement on Monday said.
The reporter is said to have been left with a bruised right eye.
