NDC's Mohammed Ibrahim Sentenced to 10 Years for Inciting Violence and Spreading False Information.

Mohammed Ibrahim, a prominent member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Ibrahim, who serves as the Sowutuom Branch Organiser of the NDC, was found guilty of inciting violence and spreading false information.

The court's decision was made after Ibrahim was arrested in September for making inciting statements on social media. A video had surfaced of him alleging that the police were recruiting fake personnel to kill citizens during the upcoming elections. He also threatened to unleash violence during the elections.

Ibrahim's statements were deemed to be a threat to national security and public peace. The court found him guilty of three counts: publication of false news with intent to cause fear and alarm to the public, threat of harm, and offensive conduct conducive to breach of peace.

As the leader of a revolutionary group called "Kanawu", Ibrahim's actions were seen as a call to violence and a threat to the stability of the country. The court's decision to sentence him to 10 years in prison reflects the seriousness with which the judiciary views such offenses.

Ibrahim's lawyer, Francis-Xavier Sosu, had prayed for an expeditious hearing, which was granted by the court. However, despite his efforts, the court found Ibrahim guilty and handed down a significant sentence.

The sentencing of Mohammed Ibrahim serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining public peace and order. It also highlights the need for individuals to be mindful of the impact of their words and actions on society.
