An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced 43-year-old TikToker Camilla Alhassan to one year’s imprisonment with hard labour for offensive conduct. The court stated that the sentence was intended to serve as a deterrent to others.

Alhassan, who was charged with offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace, pleaded guilty. The prosecution informed the court that the Ghana Police Service intercepted a video that had circulated on TikTok, in which Alhassan made offensive and derogatory statements against President John Mahama.

In the video, she was heard making derogatory remarks, saying: “President Mahama is an old fool who should be killed together with his wife, Lordina Mahama, and that the President had sexual relations with Misbel.”

The prosecution noted that the statements were likely to provoke a breach of the peace. Following the circulation of the video, police launched a manhunt for Alhassan. With technical support from the National Signal Bureau, authorities tracked and arrested her on July 9, 2026.

Earlier, the court had remanded her into lawful custody and deferred sentencing until July 16.
