Social media activist Daniel Adomako, known as Sir Obama Pokuase, and TikTok personality Prince Ofori, alias Fante Comedy, have both been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court but will spend the night in police custody.
The court granted Fante Comedy bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with three sureties, two of whom must be gainfully employed. The suspect is also required to deposit his passport with the police until the court directs otherwise.
Fante Comedy was arrested on Tuesday, August 12, along with two others, over allegations of issuing a death threat and publishing false news linked to the August 6 helicopter crash. His case is scheduled for further hearing on August 25, 2025.
In a related issue, Sir Obama Pokuase was granted bail of GH¢50,000 with three sureties, two of whom must be salaried workers. One must be a government employee earning not less than GH¢3,000.
The Social media activist was arrested on Wednesday, August 13, as part of ongoing intelligence-led operations targeting illegal possession and display of sophisticated weapons.
Police say he is assisting with investigations into videos and images allegedly shared on social media showing individuals brandishing high-grade firearms.
The Ghana Police Service, working in collaboration with other security agencies, says the investigation forms part of wider efforts to dismantle networks involved in the illegal possession of arms.
Authorities have so far recovered a substantial cache of illegal weapons and ammunition in the course of the operations.
