Ghanaian broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah has told Ghanaian TikTokers to be mindful of what they say on social media.
According to Nana Aba Anamoah, Ghana’s free speech isn’t a license for stupidity.
The renowned broadcaster argued that death threats are not political, but they are criminal.
She stressed that there is nothing partisan about holding people accountable.
In a news card by GHone TV, Nana Aba Anamoah was quoted as saying, “ Free Speech isn’t a license for stupidity. Death threats aren’t politics; they are criminal, and there’s nothing partisan about holding people accountable”.
In related news, Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, a former Government Spokesperson on Governance and Security, has told Ghanaian TikTokers and content creators not to drag the name of the NPP in the mud with irresponsible conduct.
The NPP urged TikTokers to be responsible on their platforms, adding that they can hold power accountable without destroying the dignity of the office.
In a post on X, Dr Palgrave Boakye-Danquah wrote, “To TikTok, X, Facebook creators:
Be responsible on your platforms.
You can hold power accountable without destroying the dignity of the office. Don’t bring the image of the party into disrepute. Don’t drag the name of the NPP in the mud with irresponsible conduct”
His comment follows 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”.
Meanwhile, one more TikToker identified as Rita Konadu, known as “Mamaone” with her TikTok name the_onlymamaone1, has been picked up by the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET).
