Kessben Media has come under intense pressure Monday morning from its ardent listeners to explain circumstances that led to the resignation of one of its longest serving staff, Omanhene Adu Boakye after ModernGhana News published the resignation of the morning show host.

Many of them could not come to terms with the sudden resignation and wanted more information from their adorable radio and television stations.
