The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed concerns over the continued detention of a nurse, Salomey Awiti Bafoh, at the Adenta Circuit Court in connection with false news allegations on social media. Bafoh, a principal nursing officer, was arrested in Techiman and brought to Accra for court proceedings. She pleaded not guilty to abetting the publication of false news and appeared before the Adenta Circuit Court on September 17, 2026.
The prosecution alleges that Bafoh aided and abetted Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, also known as "Ghana Jollof", in publishing false information on TikTok. The NPP questioned the basis for her continued detention, the change in the prosecution's case compared to the initial allegation of involvement in a plot to overthrow the government, and the territorial jurisdiction of the Adenta Circuit Court.
They emphasized the importance of due process, fair trial, and respect for citizens' constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence and the right to liberty.
