Salomey Awiti Baffoe reunites with family after GH¢100k bail
Senior Nursing Officer and mother of three, Salomey Awiti Baffoe, has reunited with her family after being granted GH¢100,000 bail in connection with the ongoing ‘Ghana Jollof’ case.
The story of Salomey Awiti Baffoe, a Senior Nursing Officer from Techiman, brings heartwarming relief to her family after she was released from detention and reunited with them. Recently, Salomey was granted a substantial bail amount of GH¢100,000, enabling her to be reunited with her loved ones. Arrested in September at her residence in Hansua, near Techiman, the 40-year-old nurse was charged with abetment of crime concerning the publication of false news - known as the ‘Ghana Jollof’ case.
Despite her current well-being, Salomey's family, including her two children who hadn't seen her in a while, expressed immense joy at her return. Her uncle, Kojo Asiedu, emphasized the family's gratitude to the media for helping track her location during the arrest, ultimately leading to her release. The family also raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding Salomey's arrest, highlighting fears that she might have been kidnapped.
Mr Asiedu called for the government to ensure security agencies follow proper procedures during arrests, fearing misuse by criminals posing as security personnel. The family is also eager to have Salomey assessed by medical specialists to evaluate her health status. The allegations against Salomey, linked to Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, known as ‘Ghana Jollof’, involve facilitating the dissemination of her videos on social media platforms.
However, these allegations have not been proven in court, and Salomey remains presumed innocent as her case proceeds.
