Content creator, Priscilla Ansong

Priscilla Ansong, a 35-year-old content creator, has been remanded into custody by the Adenta Circuit Court over the publication of false news.

The content creator was remanded over her false publication with the intent to mislead, cause fear and panic in violation of Section 208(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

The report suggests Priscilla Ansong was arrested after publishing a widely circulated video making disparaging remarks about the President and the First Lady.

In the video shared by SIKA OFFICIAL, Content creator Priscilla Ansong alleged misconduct involving the First Couple,

She claimed unrest at the Flagstaff House and called viewers to watch the online content she referenced as evidence.

Speaking in the viral video, Priscilla Ansong stated, “Mr President, you sleep with the friends of your wife, how much more your house help? First Lady, have you also seen what you have caused? You have now been caught sleeping with another man. Everyone should go and watch what the president has done. He has slept with ladies, including his wife’s best friend, and now he has been caught. When his wife, the First Lady, also did the same, the president was angry.

“…I hear the Flagstaff House is on fire. Just go to YouTube and watch what’s going on. Go to Shirley Frimpong Manso – Sparrow’s Productions – and see what I am talking about. ‘For Love and Country’ – President, shame, you have been disgraced,” Content creator, Priscilla Ansong alleged.

Content creator, Priscilla Ansong, has been picked up and already taken to court for the publication of the video and the subsequent.

She has since been remanded into custody by the Adenta Circuit Court.

Her arrest has sparked public debate, with some netizens saying, “She didn’t mention President Mahama’s name or First Lady Lordina’s name. She’s only narrating & promoting For Love & Country by Shirley Frimpong Manso on YouTube. I don’t know why the police are so triggered by social media content. Context matters here. Tso”.

“Hmmmmm. Social media is made to entertain people. 

Years later, it is monetised to encourage creators.

Why would you want to publish false or fake news about people?

For views or what?

These things need to be stopped.

Are you telling me you can’t be creative enough to publish fake news about high-profile people?

You end up regretting. Let’s be guided”, A netizen added.

One X user added, “Ah, you sure? Cos she was talking about a movie that’s on YouTube. If she is true, it has been arrested, then that will be sad cos why arrest someone cos of a movie”.

“Using the President and First Lady as clickbait to incite fear and panic is a violation of the Criminal Offences Act and shouldn’t be taken lightly. This will serve as a much-needed deterrent to others social others”.

“Make them arrest me.   People just behave anyhow these days, thinking they can escape the law. You sit behind the camera, and you say such nonsense about the President, and you want to go scot free. 3ha yen gyimi wa ha oo”, One more X user added.

A netizen added, “Freedom of speech is guaranteed, but what happens after you speak is not. There are limits to what one should say or do, especially when it involves the presidency.

Still, people will claim freedom of speech to justify it. Otherwise, we would not see crowds gathering at courts and police stations demanding the release of their favourite personalities because they benefit from them.

You can be arrested for spreading false information, and when that moment comes, will you be able to defend yourself?”.

One last X user added, “Charlie, what kind of idiocy makes some of the so-called media influencers do these things? Our society is highly politicised, but some acts are a serious breach of the limits of freedom of speech. She must be made to give proofs or made an example to deter others”.
