'Ghana Jollof' Case: Salomey Baffoe granted GH¢100,000 bail

Salomey Awity Baffoe, a 40-year-old Senior Nursing Officer, was arrested in September 2026 over alleged links to the “Ghana Jollof” TikTok account, which police say was operated by UK-based Barbara Asantewaa Kodua.

Baffoe was charged with abetment of crime, to wit, publication of false news, after investigators alleged that she helped facilitate the distribution of videos produced by Kodua and recruited others to circulate the content.

She pleaded not guilty and was initially remanded in custody before being granted GH¢100,000 bail by the Adenta Circuit Court on October 5.

The case has been adjourned to February 17, 2027.
