The Ghana Police Service has disclosed that the TikToker who has been jailed for offensive conduct will be taken to court again over a separate charge.

Camila Alhassan, 43, was sentenced to one year in prison with hard labour by the Accra Circuit Court for offensive conduct on July 16, 2026.

However, the Police say she will also be put before the High Court for a separate charge of false communication.

“The Ghana Police Service is also taking steps to put the convict before the High Court on the separate charge of False Communication under the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775),” the police said in a statement on July 17, 2026.

Alhassan was convicted after posting a TikTok video that targeted the President and the First Lady.

“The Ghana Police Service has secured the conviction and sentencing of Camila Alhassan, 43, to one year imprisonment with hard labour by the Accra Circuit Court for Offensive Conduct following the publication of offensive and abusive content on social media targeting the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, and the First Lady, Mrs. Lordina Mahama,” the statement said.

The Police explained that she was arrested through an intelligence-led operation.

“The convict was arrested on 9th July 2026 through an intelligence-led operation after Police intercepted a TikTok video in which she made offensive, insulting, and derogatory remarks against the President and the First Lady, including threats against their lives and false allegations concerning the President’s private life,” it added.

According to the Police, the video had the potential to cause unrest.

“The statements were considered capable of disturbing public peace and undermining national cohesion,” the police explained.

The Police also addressed a delay in her sentencing after she claimed to be pregnant.

“Although sentencing was initially deferred following her claim that she was pregnant, a medical examination conducted at the Police Hospital confirmed that she was not pregnant,” it continued.

She was eventually sentenced on July 16, 2026.
