A Ghanaian TikToker, one David Kwodow Prah Afful, popularly known on social media as Kwame Nkrumah II, the man seen in a viral video threatening to kill the President, John Dramani Mahama, Members of Parliament, and other government officials, has been sentenced to seven months in prison.
In the video, Kwame Nkrumah II allegedly threatened to kill government officials, journalists, and civil servants using official green number plates.
He was also reported to have threatened to burn marketplaces and encouraged others to carry out similar acts.
The Ghana Police Service arrested Mr. Afful for issuing death threats and inciting violence during a TikTok live stream.
He was picked up at his hideout near Kasoa Market around 2:20 p.m. on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
Following his arrest, the police stressed: “While it upholds freedom of speech, it will not tolerate statements that incite violence, insecurity, or public disorder.”
Mr. Afful pleaded guilty to charges of threat of death and offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace when he was put before an Accra Circuit Court.
He subsequently pleaded with government officials to forgive him for his behaviour.
