Following reports that the contentious social media sensation was detained by security personnel on Thursday, March 14, this has happened.
The Ghana Police Service said in a statement released on Friday, March 15, that, in contrast to rumours that he was in the hands of law enforcement, Bongo Ideas was at home, according to their checks with his family.
“The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to social media reports that one Albert Nat Hyde, also known as BongoIdeas, has been arrested by the Police.
“The Ghana Police Service has not arrested the said individual.
“The Police have contacted a relative who has confirmed that BongoIdeas is at home,” the Ghana Police Service’s statement read.
Amidst national internet restrictions, Ghanaians have been expressing a range of emotions on social media following the blogger’s alleged arrest.
