President John Dramani Mahama issued stern warnings to social media content creators during his Wednesday press conference. The head of state specifically targeted Ghana Jollof, Afia Schwarzenegger, Nana Ba the Traveller, and Fante Comedy for their inflammatory online statements. Mahama labeled these influencers as criminals who promote chaos across the nation. He emphasized that authorities will arrest anyone who uses digital platforms to incite violence or spread hatred.
The National Signals Bureau received full authorization to monitor and trace problematic online activities. Government officials can track individuals through their IP addresses and prosecute them under existing criminal codes. Mahama cited dangerous content related to conflicts in the Bawku and Gonja Brefo areas as examples of harmful speech. The president highlighted disturbing comments about the recent military helicopter crash near Obuasi. Ghana must establish comprehensive regulations for emerging media platforms to prevent further social discord and maintain national peace.
