Ghana Jollof case: Nursing officer’s lawyers challenge remand, seek High Court bail

Senior nursing officer Salomey Awiti Bafoh's lawyers have filed a bail application at the High Court, challenging her continued detention following her arrest over alleged links to the controversial "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account. Enoch Anhwere Afoakwa, representing Ms Bafoh, stated that the application was filed on Thursday and is expected to be heard on Wednesday.

Ms Bafoh was arrested on September 13 and denied bail by the Adentan Circuit Court, being remanded for two weeks. The prosecution alleges that she acted as a liaison for UK-based TikTok user Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, popularly known as "Ghana Jollof", and helped recruit others to redistribute videos produced by Kodua, some of which contained inflammatory statements capable of provoking violence. However, these allegations have not been established by the court.
