The management of Oyerepa FM has been given permission by the Kumasi Traditional Council to reopen. This comes after a four-day closure of the radio station.
Three days after the radio station was shut down, on Monday, discussions resulted in this decision.
As an act of repentance for enabling Akwasi Addai ‘Odike’ to use their platform to verbally criticize traditional authority, the station shut down at the request of the Council.
The radio station’s management pleaded with the Asokore Mamponghene, Nana Boakye Ansah Debrah, to lead the team in their second appearance before the traditional council.
A representative of the Asokore Mampong chief led the delegation to plead on their behalf, flanked by some leaders of the Methodist Church of Ghana.

Prof. Emmanuel Asante, the former head of the Peace Council, added his voice to the call.
He reveals that strict measures have been put in place to ensure that radio show panelists do not have opportunities to disrespect authority.
“We came in humility to beg Asanteman to forgive them.” And, thank God, they accepted our request, so they asked them to return to work,” Prof Asante told the media.
The Kumasi Traditional Council’s fourteen divisional chiefs pleaded with the Council’s leader, Banatamahene Baffour Amankwatia VI, to pardon them.
The request will be conveyed to the Asantehene, according to Bantamahene, who chairs the Kumasi Traditional Council.
