Ghanaian 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 publishing false news.
The court delivered the judgment on July 16, 2026, after Camilla admitted that she shared videos alleging, without evidence, that President John Dramani Mahama buried 32 cows as part of rituals to win the 2024 general election.
Her lawyer, Kwadwo Gyamfi Bonsu, said the court dismissed the charge of electronic abuse because it ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to handle that offence.
However, the court found Camilla guilty of offensive conduct and publishing false news and handed her a one-year prison sentence.
The lawyer explained that the defence asked the court to consider a lighter punishment, but the court decided that the growing number of similar cases required a sentence that would discourage others from spreading false information.
Camilla’s arrest and prosecution followed the circulation of the videos on social media.
During an earlier court hearing, the court also ordered that she undergo a pregnancy test before sentencing.
