An animated video claiming Sammy Gyamfi has threatened to deal with the security forces is an old video and has nothing to do with the 2024 elections.

GhanaFact has previously debunked the same video.

Have you come across the alleged secret recording of former President John Dramani Mahama?

Investigations by experts with the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition show that the audio recording is inauthentic.

The audio-visual content alleging an election-related thumb-cutting incident happened in Bolgatanga is False.

Our investigations show that the incident occurred in Prestea and was not politically motivated.
