The Ghana Police Service in Yendi has arrested two individuals—a male and a female—for allegedly impersonating Sharaf Mahama, son of the President, on the social media platform TikTok.
According to police, the suspects created a fake TikTok account under the name “Sheriff Mahama,” which they allegedly used for personal activities while presenting themselves as the President’s son. The account reportedly garnered over 7,500 followers and thousands of likes.
The male suspect has been identified as Abdul Rahaman Zakaria and investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the female suspect's involvement.
The police confirmed that the arrests are part of efforts to clamp down on online impersonation and other cyber-related offences.
