Ghana, Robert Jackson has been arraigned.
Nyarko was said to have been put
before an Accra Circuit Court presided over by Mrs Patricia Quansah, Monday’s

According to the prosecutor, the
suspect created an account on Facebook and had been posting his views on both
private and public issues on his timeline, adding that he had been 'liking'
other comments from other persons as well.
She said on January 15, 2016 the
American Embassy in Ghana posted news including a video on the appointment of

and a friend of the suspect liked it, adding that on January 19, 2016 the
suspect clicked on his page and saw it.
She continued that the suspect then
threatened the Ambassador with the following words: "Who cares! All whites
are bad. I would shoot him if I should see him.”
She said the Embassy, upon seeing
the threatening message, reported the matter to the police for investigation
and the police intelligence revealed that he was at Ejisu. He was consequently
arrested but nothing incriminating was found in his room.
The police officer said the suspect
admitted he posted the words but had no malicious intent but he was arraigned
