Two individuals have been brought before the Adentan Circuit Court for allegedly making offensive and abusive remarks against President John Dramani Mahama.
The accused, Priscilla Duah Birago, a 29-year-old National Service personnel, and Charity Dede Tetteh, a 29-year-old beautician, are said to have made the comments on 6 August 2025 during a live-streamed discussion on social media.
They allegedly stated: “We would have been happier if the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, was involved in the helicopter crash and dwarfs had eaten him up, and that a lot of people are dying under his tenure of office,” among other abusive words.

According to the prosecution, the two accused persons hosted a live discussion on TikTok during which they made the remarks, conduct said to be capable of provoking a breach of the peace. It added that Birago disseminated the statements via her TikTok account under the name “Abena Birago”.
