A nurse, Salomey Awiti Bafoh, has been remanded into police custody by the Circuit Court in Adenta after pleading not guilty to a charge of allegedly aiding and abetting the publication and circulation of false news on social media. The prosecution claims that Bafoh, a nurse from Techiman, collaborated with Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, also known as "Ghana Jollof," who is currently at large and believed to be in the United Kingdom.
The alleged false news, posted on TikTok under the account "BAK Ghana Jollof," contained inciting statements that potentially incited violence, including threats to overthrow the Ghanaian government. Bafoh is accused of recruiting others to redistribute the videos through various social media platforms and accepting financial support from Kodua for the activities.
The court refused bail for Bafoh, citing the sensitive nature of the allegations and the ongoing investigations. The case has been adjourned until September 30, 2026.
