The Inspector-General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) has arrested a woman, Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat, over alleged threats and offensive remarks directed at President John Dramani Mahama in a viral social media video.
According to the police, the suspect was seen in videos circulating on TikTok making insulting comments about the President and allegedly issuing threats against his life and that of his wife, while also encouraging others to engage in violent acts.
Following the circulation of the videos on May 19, 2026, a joint operation involving CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department tracked and arrested the suspect on May 20 at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region.
The suspect is currently in police custody and is expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days.
Authorities say the arrest forms part of ongoing efforts to monitor and clamp down on abusive, threatening, and unlawful content circulating on social media platforms.
