Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, a staunch NPP member, has advised TikTokers to abstain from issuing derogatory remarks directed towards President John Dramani Mahama.
KOKA noted that John Dramani Mahama was legitimately elected as President of the Republic and should be accorded due respect regardless of their political or personal differences.
According to KOKA, criticism levelled at John Mahama must be measured and responsible.
KOKA, however, called security agencies to exercise some restraint, encouraging them not to overdo it in dealing with individuals expressing controversial opinions.
Speaking in a recent interview shared on social media, KOKA advised, “There is one fundamental thing we need to get right, no matter what, John Dramani Mahama was elected as president… No matter the circumstances, show him that respect. He didn’t come there with a gun. He is the president.”
“You can criticise him, you can say what you want, but you should be guarded, say things that tomorrow, when a foreigner repeats them, you will not feel guilty.”
His comments follow the wave of arrests involving social media commentators accused of spreading hate speech, inciting violence, and targeting public officials online.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service have arrested TikToker Bawumia Ba, whose real name is Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat.
The police statement disclosed that Akosua Serwaa Minat was arrested for allegedly issuing threats and making offensive remarks against President John Dramani Mahama in videos circulated on social media.
According to the police, the suspect appeared in TikTok videos allegedly insulting the President, threatening his life, and inciting others to attack both the President and his wife.
The Police revealed a joint operation involving the CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department led to the arrest of the suspect on May 20, 2026, at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region.
