Source of false rumours on Jerry Ahmed's death

News about Hon Jerry Ahmed’s passing has been making waves on various social media platforms, including Twitter, TikTok and Facebook.

The news is suspected to have originated from accounts belonging to National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters.

It also popped up after Hon Ahmed allegedly defended an NPP member who claimed Ghana’s Vice President was dead.

The NPP loyalist wrote “RIP Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang" indicating the Vice President was no more, a claim which appeared to be false.

During his interview with the GHOne reporter, Hon Ahmed addressed the claim. He denied defending the man who wished the Vice President dead and clarified his remarks.

Hon Jerry believes the death rumours are a way of getting back at him for reacting to the NPP fanatic's comment.

Hon Jerry Ahmed is not the only prominent Ghanaian who has had to grapple with false rumours on their alleged death. Ghana’s Vice President suffered a similar fate when she recently fell ill.

Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was taken abroad for treatment after she fell ill, as confirmed by government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofusu in a statement last month.

But her absence triggered rumours of her passing. An NPP foot soldier, Mohammed Amadou Zakou, took to his Facebook page to make a claim suggesting that Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang was no more.

Zakou was picked up by the National Intelligence Bureau and subsequently granted a bail fee of GH¢100,000 after being arraigned at the Achimota Circuit Court.

"This thing is one hell of a problem. He should sue whoever spread that false news. Who prays for the death of someone because of politics? Make he sue whoever spread that false news. It’s becoming too much."
