The Northern Regional Police Command has arrested a 27-year-old man, Abdulai Mohammed Saani, over a provocative TikTok video related to the death of the late Mion Lana, Mahamaru Abdulai.
The arrest followed the circulation of the video on social media, prompting the Regional Police Intelligence Department (PID), in collaboration with the Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID), to launch an intelligence-led investigation.
The police said their enquiries led to the identification of Saani as the person allegedly behind the production and dissemination of the video.
He was subsequently traced to Kumbungu, where he was arrested on Thursday, August 20, 2026.
Saani was later conveyed to the Northern Regional Police Headquarters in Tamale to assist with investigations.
The Police Command said investigations are continuing to determine the circumstances surrounding the creation and circulation of the video and to establish whether other individuals were involved.
