ANTIGUA – Radio host hauled to court

Observer Radio’s Voice of the People co-host Nikki Phoenix was detained by police around midday Monday during the live airing of the programme.

She was held on a bench warrant in the St John’s Magistrate’s Court over a dispute between herself and her landlord.

The matter allegedly involved the payment of utilities.

Phoenix, however, contended that she had already settled the matter with her landlord.

The host who once went by the name of Malika Muffett did not return to her hosting duties when VOP broke for the lunchtime news, leaving many listeners to wonder why.
