The Ghana Police Service has arrested 22-year-old Evans Puplampu in Ashaiman for posting a TikTok video in which he posed as a terrorist, sparking widespread public panic.
The suspect reportedly shared the video with the caption, “We are starting from Ghana churches,” raising alarm among social media users and prompting swift police action.
According to the police, Puplampu admitted during interrogation that he copied a trending pose online and had no intention of causing harm.
