Accra: Outspoken Ghanaian socialite Afia Schwarzenegger has questioned the Ghana Police Service over what she describes as the lack of updates on the criminal case involving social media personality SoAfrican, following his arrest earlier this year. In a video shared on her Instagram page and sighted by GhanaWeb on July 18, 2026, Afia Schwarzenegger, while reacting to the jailing of social media user Camilla Alhassan, questioned why the police had remained silent on the prosecution of SoAfrican after publicly announcing his arrest.
According to Ghana Web, the Ghana Police Service owes the public an update on the status of the case. Afia Schwarzenegger also called on the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, to provide Ghanaians with an update on the ongoing investigations. She warned that she would not hesitate to draw international attention to the matter if the police failed to communicate the progress of the case.
Afia Schwarzenegger's comments come in the wake of SoAfrican's case, where he allegedly drugged and sexually abused women, recording and sharing the videos online without their consent. This has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of the investigations. Background information reveals that Joshua Kojo Anane Boateng, popularly known as SoAfrican, was arrested on May 6, 2026, during a joint intelligence-led operation involving the CID Cybercrime Unit and the Bureau of National Investigations.
CID Director-General COP Lydia Yaako Donkor disclosed that preliminary investigations indicated the suspect operated a Telegram platform known as 'VIP Sleep Fetish 2025.' Police alleged that he used a drug identified as alprazolam (Xanax) to sedate unsuspecting women before allegedly sexually abusing them. The investigation was triggered by a complaint received through INTERPOL Australia, and authorities have said investigations remain ongoing as they work to identify additional victims and possible accomplices.
