Bawumia Ba's prior arrest and bail
This is not the first time Mahama has faced action from law enforcement. The Inspector General of Police's Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team first arrested her on Wednesday, 20 May 2026.
Bawumia Ba was arrested for publishing viral videos containing severe insults and alleged death threats against President John Dramani Mahama.
Two days later, on May 22, 2026, a court granted her bail in the sum of GH¢1 million.
She spent two days in direct police custody before being granted bail, but remained physically detained for a total of 12 days until her stringent bail conditions were fully satisfied
Her re-arrest suggests investigators consider the matter unresolved despite that earlier release on bail.
No further details regarding the specific nature of the offensive conduct allegation have been made public by the police at this stage.
