Police have arrested a 20-year-old woman for spreading false information online. The woman is accused of publishing untrue claims about an Uber driver on social media.
The Ghana Police Service Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team made the arrest. This team works to find and stop people who spread lies online.
The Uber driver, a 43-year-old man, reported the incident to the police. He stated that a social media post featured his photograph and damaging claims.
The post alleged that the driver was a murderer. This claim was shared on Snapchat and became widely seen.
Authorities confirmed the woman's arrest on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. She was taken into custody for further questioning by the police.
The woman has since been released. She was granted police enquiry bail as the investigation continues.
Police enquiry bail means she must report to the police regularly while they investigate the case.
Spreading false information that harms someone's reputation can lead to legal trouble.
