The Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) under the Office of the Inspector-General of Police has arrested a woman accused of making death threats against President John Dramani Mahama in a series of viral social media videos.
The suspect, identified as Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat, was apprehended following investigations into several TikTok videos that circulated widely online.
In a statement posted on Facebook on Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Police said the woman allegedly made offensive remarks about the President and issued threats against his life in the videos.
According to the Police, some of the comments went beyond verbal attacks and included statements deemed inflammatory, allegedly urging harm against both President Mahama and his wife, Lordina Mahama.
The statement explained that after the videos surfaced on social media on Tuesday, May 19, a joint operation involving the CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department was launched to identify and track down the individual behind the recordings.
The suspect was later arrested on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District.
