Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has raised concerns over the arrest and detention of Salomey Bafor Awiti, a Techiman-based nurse and mother of three, by national intelligence officers. According to Dr Bawumia, the nurse was apprehended in the middle of the night and has been held for two weeks on suspicion of being involved in the publication of false news.
Dr Bawumia described the situation as worrying and inconsistent with the kind of Ghana the country should aspire to become. He emphasized that intelligence agencies should not be used to prosecute citizens for insults directed at the President or other public officials. Dr Bawumia urged for the release of Salomey Bafor Awiti and others facing similar charges, stating that such actions undermine freedom of expression and the democratic foundations of Ghana.
