Kwame Baffoe, widely recognized as Abronye, has been placed in police custody and is scheduled to appear in court again on Friday, September 12.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed his arrest on Monday, September 8, citing “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.”
He was taken into custody earlier that same day and remains detained.
While the Police have not provided complete details regarding the conduct that resulted in his arrest, the case has garnered national attention due to Abronye’s political stature.
He is currently the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and is noted for his candid political commentary.
His arrest follows a series of recent events, including his applications for political asylum in eight countries—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire. In these applications, Abronye claimed political persecution and threats to his life, accusing the government of exploiting state security agencies for political advantage.
As part of the investigation, police also reportedly searched the residence of former NPP Youth Organiser Moses Abor on Sunday, but Abronye was not present at that time.
The case is set to proceed on Friday as the court reviews the charges and decides on the subsequent actions.
