But Otoo did not appear for her show on Tuesday leading to many rumours on social media that her appointment had been revoked.
There were various reports on social media that Bridget Otoo, who was supposed to anchor the major news for the station starting Tuesday, August 3, had been prevented from entering the
Metro TV studios after she was done with her makeup.
The reports alleged that the MD of the station had stated that he would not stop Otoo from performing her professional duty, but that some
powerful man with interest in the business had stormed the station with a motorcade stating that some “powers from above” were not happy that the outspoken lady was being asked to anchor the news.

Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, for example, in a long post, on his social media timeline said, “Bridget was stopped from going on air.
The chief instigator of the anti-Bridget Otoo agenda is a certain powerful man within Metro TV, who was sending negative screenshots about Bridget Otoo to management and some government officials.”
Azure Awuni further alleged that due to that popular host Dr Randy Abbey boycotted the hosting of the Good Morning Ghana political talk show on Wednesday, August 4, in protest against the treatment meted out to Bridget Otoo.
But it looks like the sacking was not carried through as Bridget Otoo has been spotted at work at her new station.
