‘Ghana Jollof’ case: Former classmates demand release of remanded nursing officer

The 2001 Final Year Batch of Adventist Junior High School, Techiman, has demanded the immediate release of their former classmate, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, who has been remanded for two weeks by the Adenta Circuit Court over allegations linking her to the anonymous “Ghana Jollof” TikTok account.

‘Ghana Jollof’ case: Former classmates demand release of remanded nursing officer

The 2001 Batch of graduates from Adventist Junior High School in Techiman have called for the immediate release of their former classmate, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, who has been in custody for two weeks. Ms Baffoe, a Senior Nursing Officer and a mother of three, was arrested by National Security operatives on September 13, without a warrant, and taken from her home in the middle of the night.

Her former classmates, who describe her as quiet, disciplined, and focused, insist that she is not the person behind the anonymous "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account that has been the subject of controversy. They question the basis for her arrest and remand, pointing out that the prosecution had previously stated the person behind the "Ghana Jollof" account is currently in the United Kingdom.

The group demands Ms Baffoe's unconditional release, a public apology from the state, and a full investigation into her arrest.
