  "account": "Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, has warned that arresting Salomey Awiti Bafoh alone will not solve the deeper issues surrounding the \"Ghana Jollof\" case. On TV3's The KeyPoints, he stated that while Salomey's arrest is an important step, Kelvin Taylor, the central figure in the controversy, remains unaccounted for by the government. Kpebu called for a nationwide dialogue to address the tensions and emphasized that various individuals had contributed to the situation. He also pointed out that there were perceptions of selective justice, as the protagonist had insulted high-ranking officials without facing consequences. Salomey was arrested by the National Signal Bureau and the Ghana Police Service and is currently in police custody, awaiting further court proceedings.",
  "summary": "Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has argued that the arrest of Salomey Awitti Baffoh alone will not resolve the broader issues of incendiary language and the “Ghana Jollof” case.",
