Read his full post below;

Ghana journalists abusing players in the Mixed Zone, Cameroon journalists misbehaving in the Media Tribune and now this Ivorien journalist going unclad in the Media Tribune and trying to dry hump a camera stand.

All very disgraceful and unprofessional conduct in a professional working area.

I have had a chat with @caf_online_official Media Leadership about taking action up to and including withdrawing credentials and throwing so-called journalists out of the stadium if they cannot maintain professional decorum. CAF tried to say it is an @aipsmedia responsibility. I disagree. CAF owns the competition and, for the duration of the tournament, they also own the venues. They make the rules, issue the credentials and run the Media Operations.

This is totally on @caf_online to regulate the behaviour of these individuals with warnings and up to revoking their credentials if need be.

Be that as it may I have also spoken to AIPS Africa and I have been assured that they are just as unhappy about the disgraceful behaviour of these journalists and will be writing officially to CAF to take action.
