All the prayer sessions contemnors Godwin Ako Gunn, Alistair Nelson and Salifu Masse a.k.a. Mugabe might have had in the weeks leading to today's sentencing went up in the skies when Justice Sophia Akuffo sentenced the Montie 3 to four month imprisonment terms plus a fine of GH₵10,000, failure of which will attract another month behind bars.
The owners of the frequency were also fined GH₵30,000 plus directed to provide measures put in place to ensure such rants are subsequently avoided on air.
The reported 15 minute ruling stunned the contemnors and their lawyers who had hoped in the worst case scenario to get a fine since they contend their clients were first time offenders who could have been spared custodial sentencing.
The Apex Court's premises was guarded by about 50 policemen and military personnel to contain eventualities.
The contemnors appeared teary eyed when the sentence was delivered and while the enormity of their situation dawned on them, it was their handkerchiefs which visited their eyes often.
Whisked away in a security vehicle, it is unclear which prison the trio will be detained.
Justice Sophia Akuffo further cautioned media practitioners to be circumspect in their reportage and dealings while on air since recalcitrant persons shall have the law to deal with.
Montie FM panellists, Godwin Ako Gunn and Alistair Nelson with the look on of show host, Salifu Masse threatened to kill judges who ordered the deletion of over 56,000 NHIS registrants from the voters register.
