Here's why Ghanaian content creator Priscilla Ansong has been arrested
Priscilla Ansong has been arrested for publishing false news. Priscilla Ansong, a 35-year-old Ghanaian content creator, has been remanded into custody by the Adenta Circuit Court for publishing false news with intent to mislead, cause fear, and panic, in violation of Section 208(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29). According to a post shared on X on Saturday, March 28, 2026, Ansong was arrested after releasing a widely circulated video in which she made disparaging remarks about the President and First Lady.
In the video, she alleged misconduct involving the First Couple, claimed unrest at the Flagstaff House, and urged viewers to watch the online content she referenced as evidence. She said, "Mr. President, you sleep with the friends of your wife, how much more your house help? First Lady, have you also seen what you have caused? You have now been caught for sleeping with another man. Everyone should go and watch what the president has done. He has slept with ladies including his wife's best friend, and now he has been caught. When his wife, the First Lady, also did the same, the president is angry…I hear the Flagstaff House is on fire. Just go to YouTube and watch what's going on. Go to Shirley Frimpong Manso - Sparrow's Productions - and see what I am talking about. 'For Love and Country' - President, shame, you have been disgraced."
The arrest has sparked public debate. Some are calling for stricter enforcement of laws regulating online content, while others argue that the video was merely a projection of a movie and should not be taken as seriously as authorities believe.
