The High Court in Ghana is scheduled to hear Salomey Awity Baffoe's bail application on Wednesday, September 23, at 9:00 a.m. The defense, led by her lawyer Nana Adjei Baffour Awuah, is confident that the court will grant her release. Salomey, a senior nursing officer, faces charges of abetment of crime, specifically publishing false news, in connection with the "Ghana Jollof" case.
Her lawyer argues that there is no ongoing investigation to justify her continued detention, as the police investigation has reportedly concluded. Salomey maintains her innocence and has pleaded not guilty, following her remand for two weeks by the Adentan Circuit Court on September 18. Police claim to have found financial links between Salomey and Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, the operator of the "Ghana Jollof" TikTok account, believed to be in the United Kingdom.
The bail hearing has drawn attention to Salomey's continued detention, with her legal team challenging the basis of her remand and aspects of the investigation. Salomey is set to return to the Adentan Circuit Court on September 28 for further proceedings in the substantive case.
