Justin Frimpong Koduah, the General Secretary New Patriotic Party (NPP), has condemned threats targeted at President John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, by their foot soldiers.
According to Justin Kodua, the NPP can never condone such activity, as it is not in the party’s character.
Justin Frimpong Koduah, during a visit to the NDC national headquarters, in a meeting with the National Chairman, Johnson Aseidu Nketiah and other executives, stated, “Indeed, there are certain comments that are made by foot soldiers or even people who are not close to the party.
But when such unfortunate, condemnable statements are made, it is important for the leadership to distance ourselves and make it clear that this is not the character of our party”.
He added, “Some are claiming that the NPP is behind it, and some are even saying they expected other people to die. These things are not healthy for our democracy. Death is something that shouldn’t be wished for your worst enemy.
“So, if anything came from our side, on behalf of the party, we apologise to the NDC through you to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama. It is not the position of the New Patriotic Party, and we never condone such activity,” he emphasised.
Justin Frimpong Koduah’s comments come following the Ghana Police’s arrest of TikToker Fante Comedy and Akosua Jollof following the sighting of disturbing videos from a TikTok live stream session of him and some other users mocking the victims of the tragic GAF Z9 crash and issuing threats against Sammy Gyamfi and President Mahama.
Reports suggest TikToker Fante Comedy threatened to kill President John Mahama and behead First Lady Lordina Mahama.
TikToker Fante Comedy also made some other conspiracy comments concerning the tragic GAF Z9 helicopter crash.
In a statement issued on August 12, 2025, the Police said, “The Ghana Police Service has commenced investigations into a viral TikTok video in which an individual is heard threatening the lives of the President of the Republic, H E John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady.
The Ghana Police Service also revealed that other individuals believed to be accomplices are on the run, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend them.
“So far, two people, Prince Ofori and Yayra Abiwu, are in police custody assisting with the ongoing investigation, while efforts are underway to get other persons believed to be connected to the video to assist with the investigation.”
However, TikTok personality Prince Ofori, alias Fante Comedy, has been granted bail by the Accra Circuit Court.
The Circuit Court granted Fante Comedy a GH¢100,000 bail with three sureties. He is to provide two people who are gainfully employed. He is also to deposit his passport with the police.
His case is scheduled for further hearing on August 25, 2025.
However, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Youth Wing had earlier condemned the Ghana Police Service for arresting a viral content creator identified as Fante Comedy, commonly known as TikToker Fante Comedy, Akosua Jollof and Sir-Obama Pokuase.
According to NPP, they are shocked that a serious establishment like the Ghana Police Service will waste resources to arrest and detain young citizens.
