Livestream: Ghana Jollof case, Catholic school quota and Ghana-linked cocaine haul on Nnawotwi Yi

On Nnawotwi Yi this week, Abena Pokua Ahwenee and her guests will discuss three pressing matters. The first is the arrest of Senior Nursing Officer Salomey Awity Baffoe, who has been held for two weeks due to her alleged involvement in the "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account, which has criticized government officials. She faces charges of abetting the publication of false news, and the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association is advocating for her release on bail.

The panel will also address the Catholic Bishops’ Conference's request for 20% of seats in senior high schools to be reserved for Catholic students, amid ongoing placement issues. Additionally, they will call for an independent investigation into claims that some parents are being pressured to pay for school placements. The panel will conclude with the seizure of nearly 3.9 tonnes of cocaine, valued at approximately €225 million, by French customs at Dunkirk.

The drugs were concealed within a container of plastic waste originating from Ghana, and four Ghanaians have been charged in Accra in connection with the shipment. Tune in to Nnawotwi Yi on Adom TV for a thorough examination of these stories.
