The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has received a formal complaint over alleged incitement and the spread of false information linked to the protracted Bawku conflict.

The complaint, dated December 17, 2025, is against one Adomako Emmanuel, popularly known on social media as Qwofi Manuel, who is alleged to be a supporter of Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.

According to the petition submitted to the CID at the Police Headquarters in Accra, the accused is alleged to have published false and inflammatory claims on social media following a recent meeting between the Otumfuo Mediation Team and President John Dramani Mahama aimed at resolving the Bawku conflict.

The complainant alleges that on December 16, 2025, Adomako Emmanuel circulated a post claiming that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia had indicated plans to reverse decisions taken by the Otumfuo Committee and recognise the Mamprusi as the rightful custodians of the Bawku skin should he be elected president.

However, the complainant insists the claim is false, stressing that GHOne TV, which was cited as the source of the report, has since publicly disassociated itself from the publication.

The petition warns that the alleged misinformation has the potential to undermine ongoing peace efforts in Bawku and could trigger unrest if not addressed. It therefore calls on the Ghana Police Service to investigate the matter and apply the relevant laws to deter the spread of false information capable of disturbing public peace.

As of the time of filing this report, the Ghana Police Service has not issued an official statement on the complaint or confirmed whether investigations have commenced.
