The Ghana Police Service has declared 40-year-old Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, also known as ‘Ghana Jollof ‘, wanted.
According to the Police, Barbara Asantewaa Kodua is wanted in connection with an alleged case of inciting violence.
In the wanted-person notice issued by the Police, Ms Kodua is described as a woman of fair complexion who was last seen at the Accra International Airport on August 4, 2022.
According to the Police, Ghana Jollof may currently be hiding in the United Kingdom.
The Police is appealing to members of the public who may have information on her whereabouts to assist with her identification and arrest.
The Police disclosed that anyone with information on Barbara Asantewaa Kodua’s whereabouts is encouraged to report to the nearest police station or contact the Police on 0500100010.
However, the Police have not provided further details about the alleged inciting violence case in the notice.
In related news, the legal representative for 40-year-old nurse and a mother of three, Salomey Baffoe, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, has explained that his client was arrested over claims she operates the TikTok account, ‘Ghana Jollof ’, allegedly plotting a coup against Mahama.
According to the Lawyer, the brief facts the authorities presented before the court were that Salomey had conspired with an anonymous social media account known as “Ghana Jollof” to plan a coup to oust President John Mahama from office.
According to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the security authorities told the judge that Salomey had links to the anonymous TikTok account.
The “Ghana Jollof” account in recent months attracted attention for its strong criticism of President Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.
The lawyer noted that the allegation formed the basis for the authorities’ decision to continue holding Salomey in custody while investigations proceed.
He, however, insisted that the nurse, who serves her community and country, is being falsely accused.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah stated, “The claim that was presented was that she had been arrested because she had conspired with someone known as ‘Ghana Jollof’ to plot a coup.
That was the brief fact they presented to the judge. They said the woman, who is a nurse and lives in Techiman, had planned with ‘Ghana Jollof’, a person nobody knows, to stage a coup and unseat the President. That is why they said they were still keeping her in custody while investigations continued,” he said.
The development follows the arrest of Salomey, a nurse based in Techiman in the Bono East Region, who was reportedly arrested during a midnight operation at her residence in Hansua.
The incident reportedly occurred between 11 p.m. and midnight on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
According to Salomey’s brother, who was present, three individuals, comprising two men and a woman, arrived at the residence at about 11:30 p.m. dressed in black uniforms, believed to be from National Security.
“They came in black. Two men and a lady,” Salomey’s brother recounted.
“They told me they were National Security and that they were taking my sister to the regional command. I asked what she had done. They asked me to sit down and keep quiet. I just watched her leave and couldn’t do anything,” Antwi Francis said.
Salomey’s family have firmly denied that she has any connection to the “Ghana Jollof” TikTok account, with the circumstances surrounding the arrest generating questions.
The family described the allegation as a case of mistaken identity and insists that Salomey has no association with the anonymous account.
Meanwhile, the anonymous Ghana Jollof TikTok account operates without publicly revealing the identity or face of the person behind it and has built a sizeable following with commentary targeting the President and the First Lady.
Its content includes offensive language directed at political figures, drawing increased public attention to the identity of the person operating the account.
