20-year-old Ghanaian man jailed for claiming to be a military officer on TikTok

20-year-old Alex Cobbina has reportedly been served a three-year jail term following some remarks he made on social media.

According to a statement from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Cobbina recorded himself in a military outfit, claiming to be an officer when he was not.

GAF noted that after conducting investigations, they realised the young man was in fact a washing bay attendant who resided in the Central Region.

Last year, Mr Cobbina posted a video of himself in a camouflage trouser and a naval vest, claiming to be a military officer on TikTok, a social media platform,” a portion of the statement said. 

The Ghana Navy monitored the video where Mr Cobbina commented on remarks attributed to President John Dramani Mahama about dismissing military recruits who entered the service through protocol,” the statement added.

As a result of his actions, Cobbina was charged and jailed for impersonation and unlawful possession of military uniforms and related items. The military, in its statement announcing the sentencing of the young man, urged the Ghanaian public to refrain from propagating falsehoods on social media.
