Social Media Influencer Accuses Politician of Defamation and Threats
Accusations of Defamation and Threats Fly Between Social Media Personality and Politician in Ghana On May 22, 2025, social media influencer Koforidua Flowers released a video accusing Ghanaian politician Hopeson Adorye of defamation and issuing threats against her. Flowers claims Adorye used radio and television appearances to label her "evil," potentially inciting violence. She stated in her video, "He's calling me evil on public radio and TV! This is a criminal offense!" The video shows Flowers visibly upset and determined to pursue legal action. While the video provides Flowers' perspective, independent verification of Adorye's statements and the context in which they were made is necessary. The incident highlights the potential consequences of inflammatory rhetoric in the public sphere. Further investigation is needed to fully assess the situation and determine the accuracy of the claims made by both parties. The case underscores the importance of responsible communication and the potential for legal ramifications of public statements.
