A 32-year-old porter, David Afful, has been sentenced to seven months imprisonment by the Kasoa Circuit Court for offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace, following a viral TikTok video in which he issued threatening and abusive statements against government officials.
Afful, who operates at the Kasoa New Market, pleaded guilty to the charge of offensive conduct but denied the more serious charge of threat of death, contrary to Section 75 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
His plea of not guilty on the first count was entered by the court, presided over by His Honour Jojo Amoah Hagan.
According to the facts presented in court, on August 31, 2025 Afful posted a video on his TikTok account, @Kwame Nkrumah The Second, in which he stated:
“If I get a cutlass or a gun, I will kill all government officials, burn markets, destroy government vehicles as well as diplomatic vehicles.”
In the video, Afful also allegedly encouraged Ghanaian youth to take violent actions against politicians and government institutions, calling for what he described as a “revolution”.
The Ghana Police Service, which is the complainant in the case, said its attention was drawn to the video by members of the public. Afful was arrested by the Police Intelligence Directorate on September 13, 2025 from a hideout in Kasoa.
During interrogation, Afful admitted to posting the video and explained that he was motivated by a desire to incite political change through revolution.
He was subsequently charged with two offences – threat of Death, for which trial is ongoing and offensive Conduct Conducive to the Breach of Peace, for which he has now been convicted and sentenced.
The case has been adjourned to October 15, 2025, for continuation of trial on the threat of death charge.
Afful remains in custody following his sentencing.
