Broadcast journalist Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has disclosed that the Cyber Crime Unit picked him up for what they described as “sextortion.”

According to him, he was framed by his ex-girlfriend, who claimed he had her nudes and was threatening to release them onto the internet.

He explained that the young lady edited their conversation to suit her agenda before reporting him to the cybercrime office.

However, he believes that his arrest was political and not just about his ex-girlfriend, Anne Sansa Daly.

“I was told that Andeli reported me and said I have her nudes and I am blackmailing her with them. I told them to bring evidence and so they took me home and took what they wanted and said they were going to investigate me. I dated this lady six years ago, so I won’t talk about how toxic she is.

"However, I picked intel that they have a dossier on her and so she should be careful. She edited the messages I shared with her for it to look as though I was saying I had her nude videos,” he said.
