TikToker Camilla Alhassan sentenced to one year in prison over attacks on President Mahama
Camilla Alhassan, a Ghanaian TikToker, was sentenced to one year in prison by the Accra Circuit Court on Thursday, July 16, for offensive conduct and publication of false news against President John Dramani Mahama. She admitted to the charges before the sentence was handed down. The prosecution stated that Alhassan published several videos on social media containing false and offensive allegations against the President, including an unsubstantiated claim that he buried 32 cows to secure victory in the 2024 general elections.
Court documents also outlined claims that President Mahama had committed sexual offenses, fathered a child as a result of excessive alcohol consumption, was responsible for the deaths of former Presidents John Evans Atta Mills and Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, and used abusive language against the President. Prosecutors said the allegations were published without evidence and were capable of causing harm to the reputations of the individuals involved. Following her guilty plea to all the charges, the Accra Circuit Court sentenced Camilla Alhassan to 12 months' imprisonment. The case has drawn significant public attention and reignited discussions about responsible use of social media, misinformation, and the legal consequences of publishing defamatory or false content online.
