Several leading members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have stormed the Accra Circuit Court on Friday, September 12, 2025, to show support for the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DCE.
The court would be hearing a bail application for the release of Abronye, who was arrested and charged with offensive conduct by the Ghana Police Service after it dismissed his earlier application and remanded him into police custody.
GhanaWeb’s reporter at the court, George Ayisi, captured the arrival of several NPP bigwigs, including the party’s former National Chairman, Freddie Blay.
According to Ayisi, the NPP leading members at the court included the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin; the party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye; its 3rd Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu; and National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha.
According to the Ghana Police Service, Abronye DCE was arrested for what the Service described as “offensive conduct.”
In a statement shared on the Police Service’s official social media platforms on September 8, 2025, the Service announced that Abronye DCE would be processed for 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.
