Deputy Minority Leader appeals to First Lady, Vice President over Salomey Baffoe’s detention
The Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, Patricia Appiagyei, has appealed to the First Lady, Lordina Mahama and Vice President, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to intervene in the case of Salomey Awiti Baffoe, whose bail application was denied by the High Court.
Patricia Appiagyei, the Deputy Minority Leader in Parliament, has reached out to First Lady Lordina Mahama and Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang to intercede on behalf of Salomey Awiti Baffoe. Ms Baffoe's bail application was rejected by the High Court, sparking concern from Appiagyei over the impact on the single mother.
The Deputy Minority Leader expressed her distress at the ongoing detention, emphasizing the challenges faced by mothers who serve as sole caregivers to their children. "It is very unfortunate. We are using women against other women," she lamented. Appiagyei highlighted Ms Baffoe's responsibility to ensure her children's education, making the situation particularly difficult.
She earnestly appealed to the two female leaders to consider the welfare of women in similar circumstances. The High Court denied Ms Baffoe's bail on September 24, 2023, in connection with the "Ghana Jollof" TikTok case.
