Alfred Ababio Kumi, popularly known as Adenta Kumi, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) Youth Activist has been formally charged by the National Security for the publication of false news.
Adenta Kumi allegedly made a false claim on social media and in a radio interview regarding a petition he submitted to the President, calling for the dissolution of the committee probing the Chief Justice.
He alleged that on May 15, 2025, Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu, along with Justice Yonni Kulendi, met with lawyer Thaddeus Sory at Santoku Restaurant in Accra, to discuss the petition against suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo
He also claims the group was overheard talking about matters related to the petition.
The NPP has since expressed outrage over Kumi’s arrest and detention, with General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong condemning the handling of the situation.
