"We, therefore, wish to state that this claim is false and constitutes the offence of Publication of false news,&nbsp;contrary to section 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29)."&nbsp;

In response to the false claims, investigators have identified two social media accounts associated with the circulation of these rumours: a TikTok account with the handle prisywanlov1 and a Facebook account Empress Papa A-Amigos.

The police are actively pursuing those behind these accounts to bring them to justice.

“We find it deeply unfortunate that a tragic incident resulting in the loss of two beautiful souls is being exploited in an unGhanaian manner to draw attention to oneself,” the police noted.
