Flag-bearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2028 General Elections, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has sympathised with Pure FM, a Kumasi-based media house, after their studio was temporarily destroyed by fire.
In a message shared on Friday, July 25, on Facebook, Mr Agyapong described the incident as a sad moment for the media and all those who believe in telling the truth.
“I am deeply saddened by the devastating fire that has destroyed Pure FM. This is a worrying moment for the entire media fraternity and for all who cherish the truth,” he said.
Mr Agyapong added that Pure FM’s voice was too important to be lost, expressing hope that the station will come back even stronger.
“Pure FM’s voice is too vital to be silenced. You have shown resilience before and I am confident that, like the phoenix, Pure FM will rise from these ashes stronger than ever. You are not alone. I stand with you in this difficult time,” he stated.
The fire began during a live show on Wednesday evening and raged for more than three hours before firefighters brought it under control.
Although eyewitnesses say an electrical fault may have caused the fire, the Ghana National Fire Service is expected to conduct a full investigation to confirm what triggered the incident.
Even though the building structure remains intact, all studio equipment was destroyed. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Pure FM is part of the Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN), known for its strong local programming, especially in the Ashanti Region.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
