The host of the well-patronized morning show Maakye was released as pressure was mounted by Media General Group following a Rambo-style arrest near Kawukudi on Wednesday, October 19.

He was picked up when he was on his way home from work by some NIB operatives who drove past the broadcaster’s car and crossed it with an unlabelled vehicle, in the midst of heavy traffic.

Quickly, he was whisked away to an unknown location but was later found at the Interrogation Unit of the Bureau in the presence of some senior officials of Media General.

Captain Smart was later released on bail but his arrest on Wednesday might have been fuelled by his comments about the ineffectiveness of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo inthe  fight against galamsey so far.

Earlier in the week, the Ministry of Information, in a statement signed by Deputy Minister Fatimatu Abubakar stated the government’s unhappiness with the comments and said the government was issuing a complaint to the National Media Commission (NMC) and may explore the option of legal redress.
