Ghana Jollof case: Nursing officer’s lawyers challenge remand, seek High Court bail
Lawyers for senior nursing officer Salomey Awiti Bafoh have filed a bail application at the High Court, challenging her continued detention following her arrest over her alleged links to the controversial “Ghana Jollof” TikTok account.
Nursing officer Salomey Awiti Bafoh is seeking high court bail to challenge her continued detention following her arrest over alleged connections to the contentious "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account. According to her legal team, a bail application was filed at the High Court on Thursday and is set to be heard on Wednesday. Enoch Anhwere Afoakwa, a private legal practitioner representing Ms Bafoh, stated that she pleaded not guilty to a charge of abetment of crime related to publishing and sharing false news.
The prosecution contends that Bafoh served as a contact for UK-based TikTok user Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, commonly referred to as "Ghana Jollof," and facilitated the recruitment of others to disseminate her videos. The charges against Bafoh also allege that some of the videos contained inflammatory statements that could incite violence, though these allegations have not been proven in court.
Ms Bafoh was arrested at her residence in Hansua, near Techiman, on September 13 and initially appeared before the Adentan Circuit Court. Her lawyers are now petitioning the High Court to grant her bail pending the trial, arguing against her continued incarceration.
