  "account": "On September 13, 2026, a nurse named Salomey Awiti Bafoh was taken into police custody by the Adentan Circuit Court on charges of conspiring with a UK-based TikToker, Barbara Asantewa Kodua, also known as \"Ghana Jollof.\" According to prosecutors, Salomey aided Barbara in publishing and spreading false news that allegedly affected national security. Charged with abetment of crime, Salomey pleaded not guilty, and the court, presided over by Mrs Angela Attachie, denied her bail application due to the seriousness of the case involving national security concerns and ongoing investigations. The court is set to hear Salomey's case again on September 30, 2026. The prosecution detailed that Barbara, based in the UK, had been using her social media platform to post videos with inflammatory content that could incite violence. One of the videos in question threatened to overthrow the Government of Ghana and included other threats, including burning Ghana. Investigations identified Salomey as a collaborator, who allegedly disseminated the videos by recruiting others to redistribute them on various social media platforms. Financial transactions between the two women were also found, with Barbara transferring money from the UK to Salomey in Ghana to support the distribution of the videos, and Salomey distributing portions of the funds to others involved in spreading the content. Police have declared Barbara a wanted fugitive, urging the public to assist in locating her.",
