Enoch Afoakwah, lawyer for detained nurse Salomey Awity Baffoe, has criticized the Ghana Police Service for being confused and conducting an "unserious" investigation into the "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account. Afoakwah claims the police arrested Barbara Okrah in 2025 over the same identity before declaring another person, Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, wanted for allegedly publishing false news on social media.
According to Afoakwah, this leaves questions about how Baffoe was arrested since the person they claim is responsible remains at large. He described the investigation as a "fishing expedition" and a disgrace to the country. Afoakwah has filed a bail application in the Accra Circuit Court, scheduled for Wednesday, questioning the police's ability to arrest and prosecute Baffoe while the alleged operator of the account remains at large.
He also called for disciplinary action against senior security officials if he were president. The police maintain they have established links between Baffoe and the "Ghana Jollof" operation, including alleged financial and communication ties.
