He slapped him and also had the party’s security personnel seize the journalist’s mobile phones and also threw him out.
Mr Bampoe denied secretly recording the meeting and explained that he accessed the place of the meeting to avoid being beaten by the rain.

Mr Bampoe has reported the incident to the Eastern Regional Chairman of Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Mr Maxwell Kudekor, who was also at the conference.
