One of the two journalists of modern Ghana who were allegedly tortured by personnel of the National Security after being picked up from their offices, Emmanuel Britwum, has denied claims of torture as has been reported in the media.
Mr Britwum’s denial comes on the back of his editor’s complaint to the police that he had been tortured while in the custody of National Security officials even though he has denied reports that his manhood was tasered during his 48-hour detention.
