The viral message also claims that former NPP executive Hopeson Adorye angrily leaked sensitive information on live television regarding the alleged contract, sparking widespread confusion online.
However, no credible media organisation, security agency, or court document has confirmed any such arrest or investigation.
Checks indicate that there is currently no official statement from the Ghana Police Service, the Office of the Attorney-General, or any recognised government institution suggesting that Sammy Awuku is under arrest or formal investigation over a contract-related matter.
The viral post, which has been shared in a dramatic “breaking news” format, appears to follow a pattern of politically charged misinformation that frequently circulates on social media, often combining real political figures with fabricated allegations to attract attention.
Similarly, there is no verified record of any live television broadcast where Hopeson Adorye allegedly leaked classified contract information or made statements leading to such claims.
Media analysts warn that such content is designed to mislead the public, provoke political tension, and generate online engagement through sensationalism.
They emphasize that the absence of official sources, documentation, or credible reportage is a key indicator of misinformation.
As of now, Sammy Awuku remains an active political figure in Ghana, and no legal proceedings matching the viral allegations have been announced.
Authorities continue to urge the public to verify information from trusted news platforms and avoid sharing unconfirmed reports, particularly those involving legal accusations against public figures.
The viral claim remains unsubstantiated, and no official institution has confirmed any aspect of the story.
