Salomey Baffoe’s children are crying for their mother – Family appeals for her release
The family of senior nursing officer Salomey Awiti Baffoe has appealed to the government to facilitate her release, saying her children are struggling with her continued detention.
Salomey Awiti Baffoe, a 40-year-old senior nursing officer, has been detained for at least five more days after her case was postponed to October 5. The presiding magistrate is attending a judges and magistrates conference. The family of the nursing officer has expressed distress over her continued detention, particularly as her children have been crying for her release.
Salomey Baffoe faces a charge of abetting the publication of false news on social media. Her lead counsel, Nana Adjei Baffour, argues that there is insufficient evidence to justify her continued detention, emphasizing her presumption of innocence and describing the charge as a misdemeanor. Her lawyer, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, noted that one of her children is due to start Senior High School, and her continued detention is impacting the child's education.
The family, desperate for their mother's release, has appealed to President John Dramani Mahama and his wife to intervene.
