Ghanaian TikToker Sentenced After Falsely Claiming President Mahama Buried 32 Cows

An Accra Circuit Court has handed TikToker Camilla Alhassan a one-year prison sentence after she pleaded guilty to publishing false news and engaging in offensive conduct. She admitted making TikTok videos alleging, without evidence, that President John Dramani Mahama buried 32 cows in a ritual to secure victory in the 2024 election. At an earlier hearing, the court ordered a pregnancy test before proceeding. Prosecutors also dropped an electronic abuse charge, with the judge ruling the court lacked jurisdiction over that particular offence. Camilla’s lawyer noted the defence asked for leniency. The court rejected this, citing a rise in similar cases and saying a custodial sentence was needed to deter others.
