Background
On the evening of Saturday, October 7, 2023 during the live broadcast of United Showbiz, a group of NPP members invaded the UTV studios.
The group was upset that Kwame Asare Obeng, a.k.a A Plus tore into pieces a letter from the NPP leadership to the management of UTV requesting a reform of United Showbiz.
The swift intervention of the police led to the arrest of 16 who were subsequently granted bail of inquiry.
