A local radio station in Elmina, Benya FM, in the Central Region, was attacked on Monday by unknown people.

The radio station was discussing matters of non-availability of premix fuel for the fishermen and how those who are not fishermen were given the product to the detriment of fishermen who need it for their fishing business.
