The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Techiman South constituency has condemned the arrest and detention of Madam Salomey Awiti Baffoe, a senior nursing officer and mother of three, calling for her immediate release or reasonable bail. At a press conference, Communications Officer Mohammad Mukarram Abdallah addressed a large crowd of party supporters, demanding answers from the government.
The arrest of Madam Salomey occurred late on September 13, leaving her family uncertain about her whereabouts for days. The police claim she was involved in spreading false news and assisting with the dissemination of content from the "Ghana Jollof" account, though she denies these allegations. Her lawyers have requested bail, but she remains in custody until September 30.
The NPP has raised nine concerns, questioning the authorization of her arrest, the legal authority behind it, and the reason for her transfer to the Adentan Circuit Court. The party warns that the case is a reminder that anyone expressing their opinion could be targeted by those in power. They demand transparency, accountability, and the protection of constitutional freedoms. The NPP pledges to stand with Madam Salomey and her family until justice is served.
