On Wednesday, August 7, 2024, an Instagram account named "GHANAPOSTS," managed by one Kwesi based in Belgium, posted a defamatory story falsely attributed to Isabel Ramirez of SouthwarkNews in the United Kingdom. The fabricated story accused respected London and Takoradi-based businessman Mr. Jude Teddy Baffoe of being under investigation in England for allegedly registering 34 companies with the intent to defraud taxpayers. The story further misrepresented Mr. Baffoe's residence, stating that he lived in Amsterdam when he actually resided in Haarlem.
