Ghanaian TikTok personality Prince Ofori, popularly known as Fante Comedy, has caused a stir online after he was released on bail.
The controversial social media personality was arrested on Tuesday, August 12 along with two others, in connection with comments they made regarding the August 6 helicopter crash near Obuasi.
The crash, involving a Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) Z-9 helicopter, killed eight people, including cabinet ministers Edward Omane Boamah, Minister for Defence, and Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation.
Three Air Force officers – Squadron Leader Peter Anala, Flying Officer Manaen Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah – were also killed.
Fante Comedy and two others arrested
In the aftermath of the crash, numerous NPP-aligned social media users passed unsavoury comments about the tragedy.
Fante Comedy and others were accused of issuing death threats and publishing false news surrounding the crash, leading to their arrest.
On Wednesday, August 13, an Accra Circuit Court granted the accused bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with three sureties, two of whom must be gainfully employed.
He was also required to surrender his passport to the police until further notice.
Fante Comedy remained in police custody for days after the ruling, ostensibly due to his failure to meet bail conditions.
On Monday, August 18, he was finally released on bail.
He appeared before the Accra Circuit Court and walked out a free man.
The controversial TikTok creator walked out to cheers from other NPP activists, who showered him with appellations.
Some members of the crowd could be heard shouting that he deserves to enter political office for his sacrifice.

After his release, the social media personality shared a message to UTV Ghana host, Agya Kwabena.
After Fante Comedy’s arrest, his supporters blamed the media personality for causing his arrest after he shed light on the problematic nature of the comments being passed by NPP-aligned personalities after the tragedy.
Fante Comedy warned the presenter that he’s back to continue his problematic ways and that he would send him back to Kumasi to sell fried rice.
