The Ghana Police Service has taken blogger Samuel Amadotor of Dklassgh.net into custody for allegedly spreading false information about former National Communications Authority (NCA) board chair, Mr. Okatakye Boakye Danquah Ababio II.
In a statement issued by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, the police said Amadotor was apprehended on Thursday, November 20, with support from the National Signals Bureau (NSB) following a formal complaint by Mr. Ababio.
The complaint accused the blogger of intentionally circulating fabricated claims about the former NCA official. During interrogation, Amadotor reportedly admitted to the offence and identified one Chairman Michael Yeboah as the person who allegedly hired him to publish the false material.
“We are making efforts to locate Chairman Yeboah to assist with the investigation,” the CID confirmed.
The case remains under investigation as authorities work to trace all parties involved.
