Police to pursue second charge against woman jailed over anti-Mahama TikTok video

The Ghana Police Service has announced plans to initiate a separate High Court prosecution against Camila Alhassan, who was recently sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour for offensive conduct arising from a social media publication targeting President John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady, Mrs Lordina Mahama.

In a statement issued by the Police Public Affairs Directorate on Friday, July 17, the law enforcement agency said it was taking the necessary legal steps to place the convict before the High Court on the additional charge.

The case is expected to proceed to the High Court once the police complete the required legal processes relating to the separate False Communication charge under Act 775.
