The Adenta Circuit Court 1 has remanded Salomey Awity Baffoe, a 40-year-old Senior Nursing Officer, into custody for two weeks following her arrest over her alleged connection to controversial TikTok account, Ghana Jollof.
Her arrest is part of an investigations into individuals linked to the account, which is known for its harsh criticism of government officials.
Her legal counsel, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, however, questioned the grounds for her continued detention since state authorities had informed the court that the individual behind the Ghana Jollof account is currently residing in the United Kingdom.
“Because you want to arrest Ghana Jollof, you have remanded her for two weeks. Meanwhile, you told the court that Ghana Jollof is in the UK,” Awuah stated.
Reports of the midnight detention of the mother of three from Hansua in the Techiman Municipality has attracted a lot of attention.
Around 11:30 p.m. on September 13, three men identifying themselves as National Security operatives reportedly took her from her residence.
Her family struggled to locate her after she was taken away, as both the local police command and regional National Security officials initially claimed to have no record of the operation.
