Serwaa Amihere paid GH¢20K ransom but Henry Fitz, 2 others shared nude video - Police charge sheet

The police charge sheet alleges that Serwaa Amihere paid GH20K in ransom, but Henry Fitz and two others shared a nude video.

Henry Fitz, the man seen in a social media nude video with media personality Serwaa Amihere, has been charged together with two others for allegedly sharing an intimate video on the internet.

The move by the police follows a complaint lodged by Serwaa Amihere.

According to the facts as per the charge sheet in court, Serwaa Amihere paid a ransom to stop the nude video from going public, but the three accused persons, after receiving the said ransom of GH¢20,000 they demanded, went ahead and shared the video on social media.

They have been charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, namely non-consensual sharing of intimate images, contrary to Section 23(1) of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) and Section 67(1)(2) of the Cybersecurity Act 2020 (Act 1038).

They are also said to have extorted GH¢20,000 from Serwaa Amihere and threatened to broadcast the said video on social media if she did not pay the money.

The others have been named Edem Saviour Ketti, a filmmaker, and Candylove Kwakyewaa Ababio, a trader.

Henry Amponsah, also known as Henry Fitz, is currently at large, according to police.

Counts

The accused persons have been charged with four counts of conspiracy to share intimate images, non-consensual sharing of intimate images, and sexual extortion.

The facts accompanying the charge sheet stated that on December 3, 2023, the make-up artist of Amihere informed her that someone had contacted her, demanding GH¢5,000 in order not to release intimate pictures of Serwaa Amihere.

The said amount should be sent to the MTN mobile money account number → 0558247205, which bears the name Edem Saviour Ketti.

“On the 2nd of April 2024, another MTN number, 0555252660, called and demanded an amount of GH¢20.000 to be sent within a minute, or else he would post the nude videos of the complainant (Serwaa Amihere),” it added.

“During investigations, Ketti admitted to having used his Ghana Card to register the said MTN mobile money account number 0558247205, and gave the same to Candylove, who subsequently gave the number to Fitz.” The fact that Fitz has been using the same MTN mobile money account number suggests that there may be a connection between Fitz and Ketti, possibly indicating a larger network involved in the distribution and sharing of the intimate pictures and videos of Serwaa Amihere.
