A viral TikTok video has landed 45-year-old social media creator Isaac Boafo, popularly known as “Duabo King,” in trouble with the law.
The video, which circulated widely online, falsely alleged that four officers from the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in misconduct with commercial sex workers during night patrols in Asafo.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command, acting on intelligence, arrested Boafo.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Godwin Ahianyo, Head of Public Affairs Unit, in a statement confirmed that Boafo “admitted to publishing the video and stated that he is a social media content creator who made the allegations solely to attract views and online engagement.”
He also acknowledged that he had no evidence to support his claims.
Ahianyo added that Boafo “acknowledged making comments concerning the President of the Republic for the purpose of content creation and admitted that he could not defend those statements.”
Boafo has been formally charged and is in police custody as investigations continue.
Authorities have warned the public against sharing false information, noting that such acts “have the potential to cause unnecessary fear, panic, and reputational damage.”
