Nhyira FM’s Nana Kwadwo Jantuah Resigns After Five Years
Nana Kwadwo Jantuah, a popular broadcaster with Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, has announced his resignation after five years with the Multimedia Group.
In a statement on Tuesday, Jantuah said he was leaving the station through a mutual agreement with management.
He noted that although the company wished he would stay, he believes his work at Nhyira FM “is done.”
Jantuah described his time at the station as a period filled with “hard work, controversies, misunderstandings, love, and hate,” but stressed that he exits without any bitterness.
He added that until the end of the year, he will continue mentoring those who will take over from him, saying he hopes they will “maintain momentum and stand up against oppression.”
According to him, broadcasting is more than a job.
“Money isn’t my primary motivator,” he wrote, adding that he finds fulfillment when he knows he has done a good job.
Jantuah reflected on lessons from his career, admitting that he has made mistakes and faced hurt, but holds no grudges.
He encouraged young journalists to stay honest, refuse bribes, and remain committed to their values.
“Add value, prepare for opportunities, and keep your heart clean. You’ll succeed,” he advised.
He expressed gratitude to the management of the Multimedia Group for their support over the years.
Jantuah said his last show as host has already taken place, and he will continue to appear on the station until Christmas, when he will give his final farewell.
He ended his message with a note of faith and optimism: “Good things come to good people… Someday, posterity will judge us.”

A 30-year-old man has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour by the Bekwai Circuit Court for his role in a 2022 robbery at a mining site at Manso Akwasiso in the Ashanti South Region.
The convict, Dominic Ofori, also known as Fanta, was arrested on 16th February 2026 after years on the run. He pleaded guilty before the Bekwai Circuit Court to robbery contrary to Section 149 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 Act 29, and was accordingly sentenced to 25 years imprisonment with hard labour.
On March 20, 2022, the Manso Adubia District Police received intelligence that a group of armed men from Manso Abodom were planning to attack a mining site at Manso Akwasiso to rob the owner of gold concentrate. Acting on the information, police mounted a coordinated operation and laid an ambush at the site.
At about 5:30 pm the same day, four-armed men arrived at the site, fired indiscriminately, and robbed the miners of their gold concentrate. The police team on surveillance intervened, resulting in an exchange of gunfire.
Three of the suspects, Abu Abubakar, Musah Latif, and Gideon Takyi, sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead on arrival at St Martins Catholic Hospital at Agroyesum. Dominic Ofori escaped at the time but was later arrested and put before the court.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its continued commitment to combating violent crimes and bringing offenders to justice.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested 45-year-old Isaac Boafo, also known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news intended to cause fear and panic.
Police said the arrest follows a viral TikTok video in which Boafo claimed that four officers at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
Officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate (Ashanti Region) apprehended Boafo after receiving intelligence about the video.
During questioning, he admitted to creating the video to attract views and engagement online, and acknowledged that he could not prove the allegations.
Boafo also admitted making comments about the President of the Republic for content purposes and could not defend those statements.
He has been formally charged and is in detention as investigations continue.
The Ashanti Regional Police have warned the public against publishing or sharing false information on social media, noting that such acts can cause fear, panic, and damage reputations.
They said anyone found engaging in similar conduct will face legal action.
