The 16 accused persons who invaded the United Television (UTV) studios at Tesano in the Greater Accra Region on October 7, 2023, have been convicted and sentenced to a fine by the Achimota District Court.
Following a report by the management of United Television (UTV) and the Ministry of Information on October 7, 2023, that the convicted persons had entered the UTV Studios and disrupted a live programme, the Police proceeded to arrest them on the premises of UTV.
They were subsequently charged with being on the premises for unlawful purposes and arraigned before the court today, October 16, 2023.
The accused persons pleaded guilty to the charge against them.
They were, therefore, convicted on their own pleas and sentenced to a fine of 200 penalty units each, which translates into a certain amount (Ghc2,400) in legal terms.
The Court also ordered them to sign a bond to be of good behaviour.
