Ghana jollof: High Court to hear Salomey Baffoe’s bail application Sept. 23

Lawyer for senior nursing officer Salomey Awity Baffoe, Nana Adjei Baffour Awuah, says he is confident the High Court will grant his client bail when her application is heard on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.

The bail application was filed on Friday, September 18, and is scheduled for hearing at 9:00 a.m. at the High Court Complex.

Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on Monday, September 21, Nana Adjei Baffour Awuah said the legal team expects Baffoe to be released so she can return home and care for her children.

“It was filed on Friday, and the date for hearing is Wednesday at 9 o’clock at the High Court Complex. We are very confident that she’ll be released to go and enjoy life and take care of her children, who have not had their mother for the last 10 days,” he said.

The lawyer also questioned the continued detention of his client, arguing that the police investigation involving her has effectively been completed.

“Demonstrably from the government’s own statement, there’s no outstanding investigation to be conducted. So why is she being held?” he said.

Baffoe is facing a charge of abetment of crime, to wit, publication of false news, in connection with an ongoing police investigation.

She has pleaded not guilty to the charge after the Adentan Circuit Court remanded her for two weeks on Friday, September 18.

The police allege that Baffoe assisted Barbara Asantewaa Kodua, whom they identify as the operator of the “Ghana Jollof” TikTok account and who is believed to be in the United Kingdom, to disseminate videos and recruit others to redistribute the content.

According to the police, forensic examination of Baffoe’s mobile phone, including audio and video files, as well as mobile money records, uncovered alleged financial links between her and Kodua.

Baffoe is expected to return to the Adentan Circuit Court on September 28, 2026, as the case continues.

The High Court’s ruling on the bail application will determine whether she remains in custody or is released on bail pending further proceedings.
