The minority leader in parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has told his fellow New Patriotic Party (NPP) members that when they are united, no evil can touch them.
Afenyo-Markin made these remarks when he recounted how Nana B came to his home around 4 a.m. to urge him to go and represent Abronye in court.
Speaking on Movement TV, Afenyo-Markin stated, “At dawn, I was scrolling through social media, and around 4 am, Nana B called me. When I picked he told me he was at my gate. When he came inside, he told me they had taken Abronye to court”.
He further revealed that when they arrived, the judge was visibly shaken by the presence of numerous high-profile NPP figures who had turned up to support Abronye.
Afenyo-Markin further emphasised that the turnout was a clear demonstration of the strength of unity within the party, noting that if the NPP remains united, nothing can bring them down.
He added, “After a few. Days of public outcry, the Attorney General himself went for variation, so have you seen the power in unity? It was a wake-up call that when we are united, as a party, no evil can touch any of us.
It will be recalled, Abronye was arrested on Monday, September 8, by the Ghana Police Service, based on what the police described as “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.”
The Accra Circuit Court had also remanded Abronye into police custody for one week.
Before his arrest, he had sought political asylum and security protection over threats on his life by government operatives and IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno and his boys.
Afenyo-Markin, at the time, quizzed the Ghana Police Service’s decision to keep NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, in the custody of the NIB for a misdemeanour.
According to Afenyo-Markin, the NIB is not interrogating Abronye, nor are they investigating him.
He questioned why the Police would send Abronye, who is being investigated on a matter which is a misdemeanour, into NIB custody.
Speaking to the media at the Accra Circuit Court on September 12, Afenyo-Markin stated, “The police invited him on Monday, September 8. He responded to the invitation, went with his lawyers, and submitted himself to interrogations. Within an hour of interrogations, he was whisked into NIB custody”.
“Why would the police, investigating a matter and having their own cells, decide to send a citizen who is being investigated on a matter which is a misdemeanour into NIB custody?” he questioned
He further explained, “Our checks at the NIB confirm that the NIB is not interrogating Abronye. Neither are they investigating him. According to the NIB, they are only the recipient of the man Abronye. In other words, the police sent him there so that they could keep him. That is why they received him. But they are not the ones who are investigating”.
“So the question is, why would the Ghana Police Service claim to be investigating a person and rather decide to send him to NIB cells? Is it to punish him or what?”
The minority leader added, “They kept him the whole of the night and on Tuesday morning, being the 9th, he was brought to court
“When they brought him to court, the police insisted that they still needed him for further investigation; therefore, they wanted him to be remanded into lawful custody. Of course, the judge upheld the application and remanded Abronye to be brought to court today.
Abronye was later granted bail of the sum of GH¢50,000 with one surety, without justification.
