Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, is calling for a truce between his family and the Ghanaian media, after his brother Baffour, allegedly led heavily built men \u201cMacho men\u201d to assault a Daily Graphic reporter, Daniel Kenu.<\/span><\/p>\n Ghana\u2019s media industry and the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) supported Mr. Kenu to wage a legal war, vowing to make Baffour pay for his actions<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”FeKhsC7RHpJbqMmZ1Ahl4T6zApRu5wqZ”]Gyan and his brother have been in the media recently for all the wrong reasons including rumours that Asamoah had a hand in the disappearance of hiplife artiste Castro; a claim the Gyans have denied strongly<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n At a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, the Gyan brothers said: \u201cWe apologize for Baffour Gyan\u2019s angry outburst at Daniel Kenu. It was uncalled for and we believe it will not be repeated.\u201d<\/p>\n They however, deny hiring the thugs to beat up the journalists saying, the men who roughed up Kenu were coincidentally around when Baffour confronted the journalist.<\/p>\n \u201cA few unhappy words were spoken in the heat of the situation. We regret this incident especially because it created an avenue for some young men, who were present, to rough the journalist up. Baffour Gyan ought to have known that some of these young men are prone to fighting causes for football stars and his angry outburst at Daniel Kenu may unintentionally send a signal to them to get physical.\u201d<\/p>\n
