The Inspector-General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) has arrested a woman identified as Mahama Aminat, also known as Akosua Serwaa Minat, over allegations of issuing death threats against President John Dramani Mahama in a series of viral social media videos.
In a statement shared via Facebook on Thursday, May 21, 2026, the Police said the suspect appeared in multiple TikTok recordings that have since circulated widely online. In the videos, she is alleged to have made derogatory remarks about the President and issued threats directed at his life.
The Police further indicated that the content of the videos went beyond insults, adding that some of the statements were considered inciteful, with calls allegedly encouraging others to cause harm to both the President and his wife Lordina Mahama.
The statement added that following the emergence and spread of the videos on social media on Tuesday May 19, a joint team made up of the IGP’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department launched investigations to trace the source of the recordings.
The suspect was subsequently arrested on Wednesday May 20, 2026, at Sekyere Zongo within the Sekyere Kumawu District.
Police say she is currently in custody assisting with investigations and is expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days as legal processes continue.
