Class Media Group owns nine local radio stations across the country, including Class 91.3FM, Accra 100.5FM, KUMASI 104.1FM, No.1 105.3FM Accra , Ho FM, Adehyee FM, Taadi FM, Dagbon FM and Sunyani FM; the C TV television broadcaster, and the Class FM news site, according to Patrick Ayumu, an editor with the website who spoke with CPJ by phone and messaging app. Edwards and Ayumu told CPJ that they did not immediately see a motive for the attack on their office. Class Media Group reported the firebomb attack to police on April 25, but Ayumu said on Friday May 3, that police were still investigating and had not updated them on any developments. Last year, CPJ documented a years-long pattern of impunity in attacks on the press in Ghana. CPJ’s calls and text messages on May 3 to the Ghana police spokesperson, Grace Ansah-Akrofi, went unanswered.
