Mugabe, a radio presenter of an
Accra based station, Montie FM and two pro-government panelists, Allistair
Nelson and Godwin Ako-Gunn were sentenced to four months in jail with a fine of
10,000 cedis by Judge Sophia Akuffo of the Ghana’s Supreme Court.
The men were jailed for threatening
to kill judges who ordered names to be removed from the voters’ register ahead
of the general elections scheduled to take place this December. The judge said
they attacked the court’s integrity by threatening on air not to accept its
ruling on the electoral register and to kill the judges. The owners and
directors of Montie FM were also slammed with a fine of 30,000 cedis by the
court.
