TikToker Camilla Alhassan has been sentenced to one year in prison by the Accra Circuit Court after pleading guilty to charges of offensive conduct and the publication of false news.

The case stemmed from videos she posted on social media in which she falsely claimed, without any evidence, that President John Dramani Mahama buried 32 cows as part of rituals to secure victory in the 2024 presidential election.

The court had earlier accepted her guilty plea but postponed sentencing to allow for a pregnancy test before delivering its final judgment.

Following the outcome of that process, the court convicted Alhassan and sentenced her to one year in prison.

Her conviction brings to an end the criminal proceedings arising from the viral videos, which prosecutors said contained false and offensive allegations against the President.
