A netizen on X has weighed in on the brouhaha surrounding the one-year jail sentencing of TikToker Camilla Alhassan.
According to the netizen, Camilla Alhassan’s habitual insults have landed her in jail.
The netizen recounted how the TikToker insulted the former Assin Central MP, Ken Agyapong, during the party’s internal election.
The X user stressed that when Camilla Alhassan was insulting Ken Agyapong, no one from the Bawumia camp called her to order, and today she has ended up in jail.
In a post on X alongside a video of Camilla Alhassan insulting Ken Agyapong, the netizen wrote, “NPP baby-elephant write ✍️

Today, her habitual insults have landed her in jail.
I’m a proud NPP member but …….”.
Meanwhile, 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”.
Also, the Minority in Parliament has ordered the Mahama administration to discontinue the reported second prosecution of jailed TikToker Camilla Alhassan.
The Minority in Parliament demanded a halt to the use of what it describes as outdated laws that criminalise free speech.
Afenyo-Markin, the Minority leader, urged the government to immediately stop all prosecutions under Sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, asserting that the provisions have no place in a modern democracy.
Speaking at a press conference in Parliament on Friday, July 17 2026, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated, “We demand the immediate withdrawal of all pending prosecutions under Sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, including the second prosecution threatened against Camilla Alhassan”.
Afenyo-Markin also demanded the release of persons currently serving prison terms under the provisions.
He added, “We demand the discharge of any person currently serving a sentence, including Kwame Nkrumah II. There’s a gentleman, Kwame Nkrumah II, who was jailed about six months ago over a TikTok video”.
“We demand the passage, without delay, of legislation repealing both sections. The Mighty Minority is proposing legislation along the lines of the bill already before the House,” he said.
“We are asking His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama to ensure that no prosecution is undertaken by the police forthwith,” he said.

@ghnow_ Prophet Eric Uche-Boahen has weighed in on the political undertones surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, claiming that recent international political developments could influence the outcome of the tournament. According to him, Israel’s Prime Minister’s reported declaration of support for Argentina, coupled with comments attributed to former U.S. President Donald Trump against Spain, may pose spiritual and political challenges for the Spanish side.
