A National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch organiser for Agona West, Prince Aboagye, has been granted bail of GH¢200,000 after appearing before court.
The NDC branch organiser appeared before a court for allegedly making offensive and false statements about Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on TikTok.
He was charged with offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace and publication of false news.
In court, the NDC branch organiser pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of GH¢200,000 with three sureties, one to be justified with landed property.
The case has since been adjourned to August 19, 2026.
The development follows the Ghana Police Service has arrested Prince Aboagye, a 38-year-old National Democratic Congress (NDC) Branch Organiser in Agona West.
Reports suggest the NDC branch organiser was arrested over alleged offensive comments he reportedly made about former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on social media.
In a viral video, the NDC Branch Organiser claimed that Dr Bawumia murdered, stole, and engaged in extramarital affairs with married women.
He stated, “He is a thief and killed his own close associate he used to walk with. He has been sleeping with people’s wives”.
Following his comments, another viral video circulating online shows Prince Aboagye in handcuffs alongside the video in which he allegedly used abusive and defamatory language against Dr Bawumia.
Meanwhile, TikToker Camilla Alhassan has been sentenced after pleading guilty to offensive conduct and publishing false news over videos alleging, without evidence, that President John Dramani Mahama buried 32 cows to win the 2024 elections.
TikToker Camilla Alhassan was arrested for publishing false news and offensive conduct over videos insulting President John Dramani Mahama.
According to reports, TikToker Camilla Alhassan was put before an Accra Circuit Court and pleaded guilty to charges levelled against her.
Also, the Ghana Police Service has revealed that the TikToker Camila Alhassan, who has been jailed, will be taken to court again over a separate charge.
According to the Police, Camila Alhassan will also be put before the High Court for a separate charge of false communication.
The Ghana Police Service in a statement stated, “The Ghana Police Service has secured the conviction and sentencing of Camila Alhassan, 43, to one year imprisonment with hard labour by the Accra Circuit Court for Offensive Conduct following the publication of offensive and abusive content on social media targeting the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, and the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama.
The convict was arrested on 9th July 2026 through an intelligence-led operation after Police intercepted a TikTok video in which she made offensive, insulting, and derogatory remarks against the President and the First Lady, including threats against their lives and false allegations concerning the President’s private life. The statements were considered capable of disturbing public peace and undermining national cohesion.
Following investigations, convict Camila Alhassan was charged with Offensive Conduct and False Communication and put before the Accra Circuit Court. Although sentencing was initially deferred following her claim that she was pregnant, a medical examination conducted at the Police Hospital confirmed that she was not pregnant. On 16th July 2026, the Court sentenced her to one year’s imprisonment with hard labour.
The Ghana Police Service is also taking steps to put the convict before the High Court on the separate charge of False Communication under the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775).
The Ghana Police Service reminds the public that while the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression. that right must be exercised responsibly and within the confines of the law. The Service reiterates that social media is not a platform for spreading falsehoods, making threats, or publishing unlawful content, and warns that anyone who engages in criminal conduct online will face the full rigours of the law”.
