Ms Awiti-Baffoe faces a charge of false news publication in connection with the Ghana Jollof TikTok case. Her lawyer emphasized that while she has been affected by her time in custody, the primary focus now is securing her release to allow the legal process to proceed.

The case has been adjourned to February 18, 2027, at which point the prosecution will present its case and provide the defense with relevant disclosure documents.
