According to him, he flew outside Ghana on two occasions after he became the target of death threats.

One of such threats come after he produced a documentary titled ‘militia in the heart of the nation,’ which revealed the presence of a pro-government militia force working at the former seat of government, Christiansborg Castle.

The Editor-in-Chief of the Fourth Estate made this known in an interview with Host, Thelma Tackie, on the GTV Breakfast Show on May 5, 2022.

Manasseh Azure revealed that he spent most part of March and April 2019 running and hiding from unknown identities for his dear life.

He further explained that many more Ghanaian Journalists are going through such horrifying situations.
