CSA warns graduates against indecent social media posts
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has warned recent high school graduates to be careful about what they post on social media.
In a statement issued in Accra on September 25, the Authority said it had observed an increasing number of indecent and irresponsible posts by some graduates.
These include offensive remarks such as “we go scatter them” and comments about “snatching people’s husbands,” which have attracted wide public attention.
The CSA reminded young people that social media is a powerful tool for expression and networking but also carries serious responsibilities and long-term consequences.
It noted that online posts form part of a person’s permanent digital record, which universities, scholarship boards and potential employers often review when making decisions.
According to the Authority, irresponsible content can damage a person’s academic, career and professional prospects. It also warned that such behaviour could expose young people to cyberbullying, harassment, grooming and other dangers.
In some cases, the conduct may even break Ghana’s cybercrime laws under the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038) and the Electronic Communications Act.
The CSA urged graduates to use social media responsibly by sharing content that promotes personal development, creativity, entrepreneurship and positive networking.
It stressed the need for young people to think carefully before posting online and to avoid indecent, harmful or insulting content.
The Authority said it will continue to work with the Ministry of Education, civil society groups and community leaders to increase awareness about safe and responsible behaviour online.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
Investigations have further revealed that both suspects are currently standing trial at the Obuasi Circuit Court in connection with a separate robbery of GH₵600,000.00.
A manhunt is ongoing to arrest the remaining accomplices, identified as Khalifa, Edward, Prof, Waddle, Ebbe, and Ibrahim, and to recover a pump action gun and a locally manufactured pistol believed to be in their possession.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, together with members of the Police Management Board (POMAB), on April 17, 2026, decorated nineteen (19) senior officers who have been promoted to their next ranks based on the recommendations of the Police Council and approval of the President, John Dramani Mahama.
The ceremony, held at the National Police Headquarters in Accra, forms part of efforts to recognise merit, dedication, and long-standing service within the Ghana Police Service, while strengthening leadership across key operational and administrative levels.
