An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced David Kwodow Prah Afful, popularly known as Kwame Nkrumah II, to seven months in prison for threatening to kill President John Mahama, Members of Parliament, and other government officials.
Afful pleaded guilty to charges of threat of death and offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace. He begged for forgiveness from government officials during court proceedings.
The convict was arrested by the Ghana Police Service after a TikTok livestream in which he threatened to kill public officials, burn markets, and incite others to violence. Police tracked him down and arrested him near Kasoa Market around 2:20 p.m. on Saturday, September 13.
