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).
TikToker Mamaone was busted over offensive and derogatory comments about President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.
The 49-year-old is alleged to have made offensive and derogatory comments in a TikTok video.
According to reports, she was arrested at Juaben in the Ashanti Region and is being transported to Accra to assist with investigations and other legal processes.
A viral video sighted on July 22, 2026, shows the TikToker in handcuffs while in police custody.
Meanwhile, her arrest adds to a series of recent arrests involving individuals accused of making offensive comments about the president and first lady on social media.
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”
Also, Shamima Muslim, the Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, has said that President John Dramani Mahama does not have the time to call for the arrest of TikTokers or anyone.
The Deputy Presidential Spokesperson highlighted that President Mahama is not interested in following the bad example of the NPP by eroding the trust of Ghana’s accountability.
Speaking on StarrFM, Shamima Muslim stated, “President Mahama is not interested in following the bad example of the NPP. He is not interested in eroding the trust of our accountability institutions; he is interested in building good governance principles that restore trust in these institutions.
These institutions are not perfect institutions that we all agree on; the judiciary, the legislature, the executive, and the media are not perfect institutions. They are human institutions; they can also be influenced.
The security agencies, do you think that President Mahama actually takes the telephone or sends somebody to go and tell the IGP to arrest this person and not give the person bail?
So you think President Mahama has time to send someone to go and arrest a TikToker, then you don’t know who President Mahama is”, she added.
