Hamza Sayibu Suhuyini (L) and Abronye
Lawyer and National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team member, Hamza Sayibu Suhuyini, has criticised Circuit Court Judge Samuel Bright Acquah for denying bail to Bono Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
He described the ruling as “embarrassing” and “unjustifiable.”
Speaking at a recent event at the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UNIMaC) on September 13, 2025, Suhuyini said, “I was embarrassed by that decision when I read it last night. It didn’t sit well with me. I tried to find justification for it, but I simply could not. This is why I disagree.”
He further alleged that the judge seemed to expect favorable interpretation based on past precedents.
“However, when I read the judgment, it appeared more like a self-serving attempt to impose a consistent narrative to justify actions that are not aligned with why the NDC won power. This is not the approach that should define our leadership. Accountability and reasoned decisions must guide governance, rather than personal or political agendas,” Suhuyini stated.

The Accra Circuit Court has remanded Abronye into police custody for one week.
He is expected to reappear on September 19, 2025.
Abronye, who faces two charges of alleged offensive conduct conducive to a breach of the peace, appeared in court in a Black Maria under heavy police escort.
