The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has cautioned the public against the sharing, rebroadcasting, or downloading of videos of some Ghanaian women, secretly recorded and shared by a Russian national, describing such actions as a criminal offence.
He issued the warning at a press conference alongside officials from the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection.
He noted that the government of Ghana is taking decisive steps to track and secure digital and financial evidence related to the viral videos.
“The government has initiated steps to trace and secure relevant digital and financial evidence,” he said.
He said investigations are not limited to the foreign national involved. “Any individual, including Ghanaian nationals, who has shared, rebroadcast, or redistributed the illegal material is also liable under our laws,” he said.
He has therefore asked the public to stop having to stop sharing the videos.
“Do not share, download, circulate, or monetise this illegal content. Doing so constitutes a criminal offence.”
