The Accra High Court has ordered the remand of the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
The court ordered the remand of Abronye DC after he refused to follow the court directive requiring him to surrender his passport as part of his bail conditions.
Reports suggest the court issued the order after determining that Abronye DC had not complied with the terms set when he was granted bail.
It has been reported that Abronye DC was absent from court when the ruling was delivered.
It will be recalled that Abronye was granted bail by the Accra High Court after he was earlier remanded into custody.
Abronye’s lawyers, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who were led by former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, moved a motion for bail pending trial.
Counsel for the applicant submitted, “We move in terms of the motion paper and pray that the applicant be granted bail pending trial.”
Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai, who represented the prosecution, indicated that the Republic was not opposed to the application.
The High Court subsequently granted Abronye bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties.
Part of his bail conditions is to report to the Police CID once every fortnight, surrender all travel documents, and refrain from travelling outside the jurisdiction without permission.
Abronye is facing a charge of false publication in a case brought against him by the State.
Meanwhile, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has revealed the party will petition the Chief Justice for the removal of Circuit Court Judge His Lordship Joseph Yenuban Kunsong, who was handling the case of Abronye DC.
According to Justin Kodua, the NPP finds the Circuit Court Judge’s conduct of the trial judge unacceptable.
Speaking to journalists after Abronye was granted bail, the NPP General Secretary stated, “We find the conduct of the trial judge unacceptable. To some extent, it’s misconduct, and it’s not something we’re going to let go”.
“We are filing a petition to the Chief Justice for Justice Yenuban Kunsong to be removed from the case of the Republic vs Abronye because we believe he has taken a stand in the case, and he cannot be a judge in his own case”.
Therefore, justice will be well served when the case is handed over to someone else”.
