In a video circulating on social media, Mr. Pagazaa and one other man were seen storming the studio of Dagbon Radio.
The two men held up the presenter who was at the point hosting a show and threatened to slap him if he makes a comment.
The host then stood up and in the process went out of the studio with the attackers.
