TikTok personality Prince Ofori, alias Fante Comedy, and Social media activist Daniel Adomako, known as Sir Obama Pokuase, have both 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.
TikToker Fante Comedy and Akosua Jollof were arrested 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.”
Also, Sir Obama Pokuase was granted GH¢50,000 with three sureties.
He is to provide two salaried workers and a government employee earning not less than GH¢3,000 as sureties.
Sir Obama Pokuase was picked up over false publications on issues relating to national security.
In a series of posts on social media, Sir Obama Pokuase made a series of allegations against the Inspector General of the Ghana Police, Christian Yohonu.
According to the Police, he is assisting them with investigations into videos and images allegedly showing individuals brandishing high-grade firearms.
However, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has 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.
Meanwhile, Salam Mustapha, the NPP National Youth Organiser, has described Sir Obama Pokuase’s arrest as proof of selective justice.
According to him, law enforcement has yet to deal with the person who attacked NPP’s Hawa Koomson and Chris Loyd during the July 11 rerun of elections in 19 polling stations in Ablekuma North.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, he stated, “These are known people and have even been identified, yet the police haven’t arrested a fly. Meanwhile, they have gone after others whose only offence was making a comment or two deemed inappropriate”.
“It cannot be established anywhere in the video that he was holding any weapon. Yet his home was ransacked, his door broken down, and heavily armed men arrested this harmless young man before taking him to the CID headquarters. Is this the democracy we are building?” he questioned.
