An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced David Kwodow Prah Afful, popularly known on social media as Kwame Nkrumah II, to seven months in prison after he admitted to issuing death threats against the President, Members of Parliament, and other government officials.
Afful was convicted on charges of threat of death and offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace. In court, he pleaded guilty and begged for forgiveness from the officials he had targeted.
The Ghana Police Service arrested Afful on Saturday, September 13, at his hideout near the Kasoa Market around 2:20 p.m. His arrest followed a viral TikTok livestream in which he threatened to kill government officials, journalists, and civil servants, boasting that he would use official green number plates to carry out the acts. He was also heard threatening to burn marketplaces and incite others to commit similar crimes.
In a statement after the sentencing, the police reiterated their commitment to safeguarding free speech but warned that “statements that incite violence, insecurity, or public disorder will not be tolerated.”
