Her Honour Angela Attachie, presiding judge at the Adenta Circuit Court, has remanded two women into custody for allegedly making offensive and abusive comments about President John Dramani Mahama during a live-streamed discussion on TikTok.
The accused, Priscilla Duah Birago, a 29-year-old National Service personnel, and Charity Dede Tetteh, also 29 and a beautician, are facing two counts: conspiracy to commit a crime, and offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace, contrary to Sections 23(1) and 207 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
The prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Maxwell Lanyo, told the court that on August 6, 2025, the accused persons hosted a live session on TikTok during which they made highly inflammatory remarks about the President.
According to the prosecution, the two stated during the broadcast that “we would have been happier if the President, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, was involved in the helicopter crash and dwarfs had eaten him up,” among other abusive statements.
The content, described as likely to provoke a breach of the peace, was later shared on TikTok under the username “Abena Birago.”
Following the viral dissemination of the video, law enforcement agencies launched an investigation, leading to the arrest of the two women.
A forensic capture of the live-streamed session has been secured as part of the evidence against them.
Neither of the accused has entered a plea, as investigations are still ongoing. The court, taking into account the nature of the alleged offence, remanded both women into custody until September 2, 2025.
