Ace broadcaster Collins Atta Poku has disclosed that concerns about his safety contributed to his decision to resign from Wontumi FM.
He explained that his mother had a dream about a funeral and cautioned him to be wary of what he consumed at work.
The sports journalist stated that his mother gave him a directive to give money to a colleague who was allegedly envious of his success at the radio station, which he did.
Atta Poku indicated that after fulfilling the directive, he felt the need to leave Wontumi FM and join another media outlet for his peace of mind.
“My mother called me and cautioned me to be careful with what I eat and drink because she had a dream that she was at a funeral. She gave me a directive to put money in my pocket in a white handkerchief and give it to the first person I met at work. She told me that the person was grieving at work because I was overshadowing him.
“So, I saw Kanta at the gate first and gave it to him, saying he had lost his dad, and I had too. My time was up, so let’s not make an issue out of it,” he said in Twi on Wontumi FM.
The broadcaster further clarified that he did not leave due to a grudge with Wontumi FM’s owner, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, well-known as Chairman Wontumi, as alleged by some individuals.
“There was no problem with Chairman [Wontumi]. If the work environment is toxic, you have to leave,” he added.
Afterwards, Chairman Wontumi implored the sports journalist to return to his radio station to strengthen the team.
“He [Atta Poku] should come back from wherever he is at the moment,” he said in Twi.
