The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has said the party will not be intimidated by what it describes as deliberate attempts by state institutions to target and silence its members.
Speaking during the ‘Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna’ protest in Accra on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, organised by the NPP’s National Youth Wing under Salam Mustapha, he accused the police of bias in their handling of political cases.
He pointed to the arrest of the Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, as well as activists Sir Obama and Fante Comedy, who were publicly handcuffed and paraded after their arrests.

According to him, such treatment is not extended to members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“Why do we have different laws for NPP and different laws for NDC? That is what we are protesting against; the weaponisation of state institutions against the opposition. This is deliberate, a clear orchestration against the NPP. We will not be intimidated,” he stated.
Nana B further criticised what he described as ‘repressive’ bail conditions imposed on party members, insisting they are being used as a form of punishment.
“You arrest somebody and then impose onerous bail conditions. That is most unfortunate. We are telling the President, who claims to be an embodiment of democracy, to ensure these institutions stop the harassment. We are not going to sit down for our rights to be trampled upon,” he indicated.
The protest was triggered by the arrest of Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, who was detained on September 8, 2025, and charged with offensive conduct and publishing false news.

Beyond Abronye’s case, protesters say the demonstration reflects growing frustrations over alleged intimidation and harassment of NPP members, including Chairman Wontumi (Bernard Antwi-Boasiako) and several social media activists.
