The Ghana Investment Support Programme (GhISP) has announced Norwegian development finance institution Norfund as its newest co-funder in a move expected to significantly strengthen support for Ghanaian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The latest partnership comes just months after Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) joined the programme, signalling growing international confidence in GhISP’s model of helping businesses become investment-ready and attract institutional capital.

Speaking on the partnership, Norfund’s Regional Director for West Africa, Naana Winful Fynn, highlighted the strategic alignment between GhISP and Norfund’s broader investment mission across Africa.

“By helping SMEs institutionalise and become more investment ready, GhISP contributes to making businesses more able to attract capital from institutional investors and also contributes to building a stronger pipeline of businesses for institutional investors, thus catalysing private sector growth,” she said.

New Momentum for SME Investment in Ghana

The collaboration is expected to deepen financing opportunities for underserved businesses in Ghana, particularly firms focused on inclusion, gender impact and climate investment.

Norfund’s entry also strengthens ties with Growth Investment Partners (GIP), an investment platform established by British International Investment (BII). GhISP already works closely with GIP by delivering tailored pre- and post-investment support to SMEs while helping businesses connect with capital providers.

Last month, Norfund invested in GIP as part of a broader effort to strengthen Ghana’s investment ecosystem. GIP recently welcomed both Norfund and Axis Pension Trust Ltd as new shareholders with a combined $20 million commitment during its Capital in Motion event.

GhISP Facilitates $9 Million in SME Deals

Since its launch, GhISP has provided technical assistance support to 15 SMEs across Ghana. The programme says this assistance has already helped facilitate six investment deals worth a combined $9 million.

With Norfund officially joining the initiative, GhISP expects to expand its reach and unlock more financing opportunities for promising Ghanaian businesses that often struggle to access institutional investment.

The initiative is designed to strengthen private sector development in Ghana while helping businesses scale sustainably and improve long-term economic impact.

Why This Story Matters

Access to funding remains one of the biggest challenges facing SMEs in Ghana despite the sector contributing significantly to employment and economic activity. International partnerships like this help bridge financing gaps while improving corporate governance, investment readiness and long-term sustainability for local businesses.

The move also reflects rising global investor interest in Ghana’s private sector and signals confidence in the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem despite broader economic pressures.

Mahama Aminat, also known online as Akosua Serwaa Minat or “Bawumia Ba,” has reportedly been granted bail to the tune of GH₵1 million with two sureties following her arrest over alleged threats against President John Dramani Mahama.

According to reports circulating online, one of the sureties must be a civil servant earning not less than GH₵5,000 monthly. The court also ordered the suspect to deposit either her passport or Ghana Card with the police and report regularly to investigative authorities.

The case has quickly become one of Ghana’s most discussed political and social media controversies after videos allegedly showing the suspect making threatening remarks against President Mahama surfaced on TikTok earlier this week.

The Ghana Police Service confirmed that the suspect was arrested by the Inspector-General of Police’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET) during a joint operation at Sekyere Zongo in the Ashanti Region. Authorities alleged that the videos included offensive remarks, threats against the President, and incitement directed at both President Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.

Heavy Security Presence Outside Court

Scenes outside court on Thursday showed heightened security and heavy media attention as the suspect was escorted by officers through crowds of journalists and supporters.

Videos from the premises quickly spread across social media platforms including TikTok, X, Facebook, and Instagram, sparking fierce political debates online.

While some social media users defended the suspect’s right to free expression, others argued that threats against national leaders should be treated seriously under Ghanaian law.

Case Sparks Debate Over Social Media Conduct

The incident has reignited broader discussions about political activism, online speech, cyber surveillance, and the increasing role of TikTok personalities in Ghana’s political space.

Security analysts say authorities are likely trying to send a strong message against violent rhetoric and online incitement amid rising political tensions ahead of future national campaigns.

Meanwhile, legal observers note that granting bail does not end the case, as investigations and possible prosecution are expected to continue in court.

TikToker ‘Bawumia Ba’ Arrested After Alleged Threats Against President Mahama Spark National Debate

A Ghanaian TikTok personality identified as Mahama Aminat, also known online as Akosua Serwaa Minat and popularly referred to by some supporters as “Bawumia Ba,” has become the center of a major national controversy after her arrest over alleged threats directed at President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.

The arrest, carried out by the Ghana Police Service’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Team (CVET), has triggered intense debate across social media over free speech, political extremism, online activism, and the growing influence of TikTok in Ghanaian politics. According to multiple reports, authorities accused the TikToker of posting videos containing insulting remarks, alleged death threats, and comments interpreted as incitement against the President and his wife.

👉🏽 Join 15,000+ readers online now. Join our WhatsApp Daily News Channel for breaking updates.

Police confirmed that the suspect was arrested on May 20, 2026, at Sekyere Zongo in the Sekyere Kumawu District of the Ashanti Region following a joint operation involving the CVET and the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Department. Reports indicate the investigation began after the videos started circulating widely online on May 19. Graphic Online, MyJoyOnline, and several other Ghanaian media outlets independently confirmed the arrest.

Who Is Mahama Aminat?

While very limited verified public information exists about Mahama Aminat’s background, social media users identify her as a politically outspoken TikTok commentator known for fiery livestreams and controversial political opinions. Some online communities describe her as sympathetic to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), though no official political affiliation has been publicly confirmed.

Her online identity reportedly grew rapidly through emotional and confrontational political commentary, reflecting a wider trend in Ghana where TikTok personalities increasingly shape political discourse, especially among younger audiences. Several viral clips circulating online before her arrest allegedly showed her criticizing President Mahama using aggressive rhetoric that later sparked police investigations.

The controversy has now transformed the relatively unknown TikTok figure into one of the most discussed names across Ghanaian social media spaces.

Police Allegations and National Security Concerns

According to statements attributed to the Ghana Police Service, investigators allege that the TikTok videos went beyond criticism and entered the territory of criminal threats and incitement. Authorities claim some statements allegedly encouraged harm against both President Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama.

The Police Service said the suspect is currently in custody and is expected to face legal proceedings in court. The case is also being closely monitored because it touches on sensitive issues involving national security, cybercrime enforcement, and online political radicalization.

Recent years have seen growing concern globally over how short-form video platforms can rapidly amplify inflammatory speech, conspiracy theories, and emotionally charged political messaging. Ghana’s increasingly digital political environment has also intensified the monitoring of online threats against public officials.

TikTok, Politics and Ghana’s Online Culture Wars

The incident has reopened broader national conversations about the role of social media in Ghanaian politics. TikTok, Facebook Live, X, and YouTube have become powerful tools for political communication, activism, propaganda, and viral influence.

Critics argue that online political culture is becoming dangerously aggressive, with creators rewarded through virality, outrage, and sensationalism. Others, however, believe the arrest raises difficult questions about free expression, political speech, and how governments should respond to offensive online commentary.

Some opposition voices online have already framed the arrest as part of a wider crackdown on anti-government commentary, while supporters of the government argue that threats against elected leaders cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

The debate is likely to intensify once the suspect appears before court and prosecutors potentially release additional evidence connected to the viral videos.

Why The Story Exploded Across Ghanaian Social Media

The case quickly became one of Ghana’s top trending online discussions for several reasons. First, the alleged target was the sitting President of Ghana. Secondly, the videos reportedly used highly emotional and provocative language that spread rapidly across TikTok repost pages, Facebook groups, and WhatsApp channels.

The visual nature of TikTok also accelerated the virality of the controversy, with screenshots, reaction videos, and commentary clips flooding social media timelines. The case reflects how digital culture increasingly shapes public discourse and political narratives in Ghana.

Political commentators say the situation could become one of the defining examples of Ghana’s evolving relationship between online speech and law enforcement.

Why This Story Matters

The arrest of Mahama Aminat goes beyond one viral TikTok controversy. It highlights the growing collision between social media influence, political polarization, national security, and freedom of speech in Ghana’s digital era.

As TikTok creators and online personalities gain more power to shape public opinion, governments and law enforcement agencies are also increasing efforts to regulate online conduct. The outcome of this case may influence how future social-media-related political investigations are handled in Ghana.

Meanwhile, the story continues to dominate Ghana News, Ghana News Live, Top Stories, Policy & Law Hub, Press & Media, and The Economy of Ghana as Ghanaians await further court developments.

The activist’s remarks come at a time when many Ghanaians continue to express concerns over the economy, fuel prices, currency instability, and the increasing burden on ordinary families. Social media users have since debated whether her comments reflect the frustrations of the average Ghanaian or unfairly generalize the country’s political situation.

Several users on X, Facebook, and TikTok praised Queen Vee for “speaking the truth,” while others criticized her for interfering in Ghana’s internal political affairs. The statement has since become one of the most discussed trending topics online.

Political commentators say the growing anger among citizens highlights deeper frustrations about governance, accountability, and economic management. Ghana has in recent years experienced intense political polarization, with both ruling and opposition supporters blaming each other for the nation’s economic struggles.

Analysts also note that celebrity and influencer commentary now plays a major role in shaping public discourse, especially among younger audiences who consume news primarily through social media platforms.

Why This Story Matters

Comments from influential personalities like Queen Vee often resonate strongly because they echo frustrations already being discussed privately by many citizens. In the digital era, viral statements can quickly influence national conversations and place additional pressure on political leaders.

As reactions continue pouring in, the debate around governance, accountability, and economic hardship in Ghana is unlikely to slow down anytime soon.

A horrific militia attack in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo has left at least 69 civilians dead, according to reports from local authorities and humanitarian sources. The massacre reportedly took place in the conflict-hit Ituri province, an area that has suffered repeated violence from armed groups for years.

Disturbing footage circulating online showed grieving residents gathered around a mass burial site as bodies wrapped in cloth were laid to rest. The killings have once again raised international concern over the worsening security situation in eastern Congo.

Attack Linked To Armed Militia Violence

Reports indicate that the attack was carried out by armed militia fighters operating in the Ituri region. Civilians, including women and children, were reportedly targeted during the assault. Local officials described the incident as one of the deadliest recent attacks in the province.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has long battled instability fueled by armed groups competing over land, ethnic tensions, and control of mineral-rich territories. Human rights organizations have repeatedly warned about escalating violence in the eastern part of the country.

International Concern Growing

The latest killings are expected to intensify calls for stronger international intervention and protection for civilians. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Congo has previously faced criticism over its ability to stop recurring attacks in vulnerable communities.

Security analysts warn that continued instability in the region could worsen humanitarian conditions, displace thousands more families, and deepen tensions across Central Africa.

Why This Story Matters

The tragedy highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in DR Congo, where decades of armed conflict continue to claim innocent lives despite global attention and peacekeeping efforts. The repeated massacres underscore the urgent need for accountability, regional stability, and stronger civilian protection measures.
