Police have arrested a 20-year-old woman named Promise Yayra Asamani. She is accused of publishing false news on social media. The Inspector General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team made the arrest.
The incident began on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. An Uber driver, Selasie Kwaku Anthonio, 43, reported the matter.
Mr. Anthonio told the Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team about a viral Snapchat post. This post included his photograph.
The Ghana Police Service stated that Ms. Asamani posted false information. This publication was shared on social media platforms.
Asamani was taken into custody for questioning by the police. She has since been released on police enquiry bail.
Police enquiry bail means she must report to the police regularly. This allows the investigation to continue while she is not detained.
