STATEMENT ON THE ARREST OF CAPTAIN SMART
“The attention of Management of Adom 106.3 FM has been drawn to reports in the media that Godsbrain Blessed Smart, a.k.a. Captain Smart, host of Adom FM’s Morning Show, Dwaso Nsem, was picked up for questioning by the Police on Saturday, July 7 2018 at the NPP National Delegates Conference, which took place at Koforidua, Eastern Region.
Captain Smart was part of a team from Adom FM 106.3 FM who were dispatched to cover the Conference.
From the reports, Captain Smart was arrested together with his bodyguards. The reports allege that his bodyguards, who were dressed like military men, were wielding unauthorized guns and other unauthorised accoutrements.
We understand from the reports, that National Security Officers present, took over the case and subsequently granted bail to Captain Smart, after interrogation. The matter is currently being investigated by National Security.
We wish to state that the Management of the Adom FM has neither assigned any personal bodyguards to Captain Smart nor do we know of any and that his actions, if true as alleged, were neither sanctioned nor condoned by us.
Even though we have commenced internal investigations into the matter, we will await the outcome of the National Security investigations, upon which further action will be taken if necessary.”

It is all well and good that the management of Multimedia has come out with this statement but the best thing is they could have done is to suspend Captain Smart whilst the investigation of the National Security is awaited. After all the information of his behaviour in public domain which Multimedia has per the statement confirmed. So just issuing this statement to distance itself is administratively wrong.
Whether the investigation turns out to be true or not the name and reputation of Multimedia has been soiled or brought in disrepute so by issuing this statement alone will clear the people’s perception of his behaviour has been sanctioned by the organisation or not.
Finally, to clear all doubt get him first suspended, conduct your own investigation and leave the criminal aspect to the National Security. Whether his action was sanctioned or not he was out there representing Multimedia. Do not please throw dust in the eyes of the public and refrain from cover up with this statement.
Arrest had been too late in coming!!
Captain NOT smart lost his freedom long ago through his criminal character assassination journalism and overblown ego!!
As usual pride goes before a fall!!!
I always feel bad when I hear any bad news concerning Multimedia workers cuz I love multimedia.
We pray this won’t be true…. Lets wait for the National Security.
Hod have mercy
