Women’s groups from the two main political parties in Bono East Region have taken opposing stances on the arrest of Salomey Awitti Baffoe, accused of aiding the spread of videos by TikToker “Ghana Jollof.” On Friday evening, before CID’s press conference, a group of women from Kintampo South District denounced Baffoe’s alleged connection to Ghana Jollof.
Led by NDC Constituency Women Organiser Cecelia Adai, they expressed heightened concern due to the First Lady’s regional ties. Contrastingly, the NPP in the region adopted a different stance. Sophia Afriyie Danso, the party’s Bono East Regional Women Organiser, alluded to the return of an era where women faced mistreatment under the Rawlings regime.
Addressing a health walk organized by the Kintampo North NPP, she encouraged women to stand up as traders’ businesses falter. She appealed to First Lady Lordina Mahama to step in. The police report indicates that Baffoe, a nurse based in Techiman, facilitated the distribution of the TikToker’s videos by enlisting others. She faces charges of abetting crime, specifically publishing false news, and has been remanded in custody. Her next court appearance is scheduled for September 30th.
