The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DCE, has once again been remanded by the Accra Circuit Court
During proceedings on Friday, September 12, 2025, his lawyers made a strong case for his release, but the court denied him bail for a second time. Abronye, who faces charges of offensive conduct, has been sent to the Nsawam Prison.
Heavy police presence was deployed at the court premises to maintain order as large numbers of NPP supporters gathered, demanding Abronye’s release.
This comes after his initial bail application was rejected following his arrest by the Ghana Police Service on September 8, 2025. The Service, in a statement on its official social media platforms, confirmed that he was taken into custody for alleged offensive conduct and would be put before the court.
“The Ghana Police Service has today, 08/09/25, arrested Mr. Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye, for offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace. He is currently in custody and will be put before court,” the statement read.
The arrest follows Abronye’s recent attempts to seek political asylum in eight countries, including Côte d’Ivoire and the United States.
He cited political persecution, threats to his life, and alleged abuse of state security powers by the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as reasons for his request.
His asylum application has been cited as the reason he was denied bail by the court.
