Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been taken into police custody after being arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court.
The court denied him bail, and he is set to reappear on Friday September 12, 2025.
Abronye was arrested on September 8 for “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace,” a charge related to his recent public statements deemed inflammatory.
This development follows his applications for political asylum in eight countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire, where he cited threats to his safety and alleged political persecution.
The NPP official’s lawyer expressed dissatisfaction with the court’s decision, describing the handling of the case as “very unprofessional”. Meanwhile, the NPP Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha, reacted to the ruling, saying, “Power has an end, the tables will turn, and we will all have our revenge”.
Abronye’s remand has sparked significant attention, given his political stature and the timing of his asylum applications.
The case will continue on Ftiday September 12, when Abronye is expected to reappear in court
