The Adenta Circuit Court has remanded Pastor William Gyimah into police custody over alleged threats made against Vice-President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang.
Presiding over the case, Her Honour Angela Attachie ordered the remand after the accused was arraigned on charges linked to a viral social media video.
Pastor Gyimah has been charged with false communication contrary to Section 76 of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008 (Act 775), as well as publication of false news with intent to cause fear and alarm, contrary to Section 209 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

The prosecution requested that the court remand the accused to allow for further police investigations.
After hearing the application, the court granted the request and ordered that Pastor Gyimah be held in custody. He is expected to reappear before the court on April 13, 2026.
