Hairdresser gets GH¢150k bail for TikTok threats on Mahama family
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A hairdresser being investigated over TikTok threats against President John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has been granted bail in the sum of GH¢150,000 by an Accra Circuit Court.

The accused, Yayra Abiwu, also known as AY, was absent from court on Wednesday when her alleged accomplice, Prince Ofori (alias Fante Comedy), appeared.

She was reportedly admitted to the Police Hospital after collapsing.

Yayra is facing charges of abetment of crime, threat of death, and knowingly making a communication containing a threat of death by electronic means.

She has pleaded not guilty.

The court granted her bail with three sureties, two of whom must be gainfully employed.

Yayra is also required to deposit her passport with the court’s registry and report to the police every Monday.

Her lawyer, Mr Enoch Anhwere Afoakwah, argued that his client has a fixed place of abode, no prior criminal record, and is not a flight risk.

He added that her mobile phones had been seized for forensic examination, stressing that bail should not serve as punishment.

On August 13, 2025, Ofori, a trader and resident of Abossey Okai, was also charged with offensive conduct conducive to a breach of the peace and knowingly permitting an electronic communication service to be used for offensive communication.

He pleaded not guilty before Mrs Evelyn Asamoah, a High Court judge sitting with additional responsibility as a Circuit Court judge.

Ofori’s bail was set at GHC100,000 with three sureties. He is also required to deposit his passport and report to the police every Monday.

A third suspect, Alberta Okrah, alias Ghana Jollof, is currently at large.

Prosecutor ASP Emmanuel Haligah opposed bail for Yayra, citing the seriousness of the threats against the President and First Lady.

He told the court there was undisputed video evidence of her threatening to “kill the President.”

Prosecution said in August 2025, Alberta and Ofori hosted a live-streamed discussion on TikTok during which offensive and abusive statements were made against Sammy Gyamfi, conduct likely to provoke a breach of the peace.

They allegedly went further to threaten the lives of the President and First Lady, saying: “We will kill the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, and kill him again, in a plane. We will make sure we kill that Mahama,” among other remarks.

The prosecution said that during the programme, the accused persons actively participated and encouraged the offensive statements.

Alberta and Ofori, as hosts, had full control over the live session but knowingly permitted their platform to be used for making and disseminating the threats.

The matter was reported to the police, and a forensic capture of the live stream was secured as evidence.

Yayra and Ofori are scheduled to reappear in court on August 25, 2025.
