Daniel Junior Yaw Adjei, commonly referred to as Apostle Daniel JY Adjei, has been released on bail following his appearance in court over allegations of making derogatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed. The arrest occurred on August 11, 2026, after the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team found him in possession of a video where he was accused of making offensive comments about the Islamic prophet.
In addition to the defamation case, Adjei also faced charges for being slapped by an Imam during a previous altercation, an incident that garnered significant attention on social media platforms. During his court appearance, Adjei was granted bail with the support of NPP Member of Parliament Rev. John Ntim Fordjour. The investigation into the matter is ongoing, with authorities focusing on the circumstances surrounding the alleged comments and the incident involving the Imam.
The Ghana Police Service has emphasized the importance of exercising restraint in public discourse, particularly when discussing matters that could potentially incite religious discord. They have also cautioned religious leaders, preachers, and social media commentators to maintain composure in their public statements. Further legal proceedings are anticipated as the case continues to unfold.
