The viral post, which has been widely shared in clickbait formats under “breaking news” headlines, also falsely links the claim to ongoing legal discussions involving former Sanitation Minister Cecilia Abena Dapaah and the Office of the Attorney-General.
However, there is no credible evidence, official statement, court record, or media report supporting any part of the allegation involving Vice President Bawumia or the bizarre claim referenced in the viral message.
The story appears to be part of a growing trend of fabricated political content designed to attract attention and generate engagement online.
Fact-checking indicators show that the post contains common misinformation patterns, including exaggerated language, sensational phrasing, lack of sources, and unrelated name-dropping of public figures to create confusion.
The mention of legal proceedings involving Cecilia Dapaah appears to be an attempt to merge unrelated public controversies with fabricated narratives.
Mahamudu Bawumia has not been involved in any such incident, and no reputable news outlet has reported anything resembling the claims being circulated.
Similarly, Kevin Taylor has not been officially verified to have made such statements regarding the alleged incident.
The spread of such content has raised renewed concerns about misinformation in Ghana’s digital space, particularly when politically sensitive figures are involved. Media analysts warn that fabricated stories like this can mislead the public, damage reputations, and distort political discourse.
Authorities and digital media watchdogs continue to encourage the public to verify information from credible news sources before sharing, especially when content appears sensational or lacks identifiable evidence.
As of now, the viral claim remains entirely unsubstantiated, and no official institution has confirmed any aspect of the story.
