The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has mocked the Circuit Court Judge in the case of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.
Afenyo-Markin is sharing a post of the Accra Circuit Court’s reasoning for denying Abronye bail, calling on Ghanaians to hail Circuit Court 9 Judge following what he described as a famous ruling.
In a post shared on X, Afenyo-Markin wrote, “After 𝟲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 of waiting, the famous ruling of Circuit Court 9 in the Abronye case is out. All right-thinking members of society can now read for themselves.
According to the Judge, “𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙊𝙁 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙉 𝙂𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙏𝙀𝘿 𝘽𝘼𝙄𝙇 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙄𝙏 𝙁𝙐𝙍𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙊𝙁𝙁𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎.” “𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙊𝙍𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙇𝙔, 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝘼𝙄𝙇 𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙇𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘽𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙐𝙉𝙎𝙀𝙇 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙎 𝙍𝙀𝙁𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿. 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙎 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀𝘽𝙔 𝙍𝙀𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙉𝙄 𝘾𝙐𝙎𝙏𝙊𝘿𝙔.”

His comments follow the Accra Circuit Court’s final explanation of the reasoning behind the denial of the Bono Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.
Reports suggest Abronye appeared before Judge Joseph Yennuban Kunsong on May 13, where he pleaded not guilty to charges.
Abronye’s lawyer, Daniel Martey Addo and Eugene Ansah pleaded with the court to grant their client bail, citing earlier cases were he was granted bail.
However, the state prosecutors led by DSP Emmanuel Nyamekye and ACP Alex Odonkor opposed the application.
They argued that the accused allegedly committed the current offence while already on bail in a separate case.
Judge Kunsong stated: “The court is of the view that when granted bail, the accused will commit further offences. This court specifically relies on Section 96(5)(c) and (d) of Act 30 of 1960.”
The court refused the bail application and ordered that Abronye DC be remanded into the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) until his next court appearance on May 27, 2026.
The Judge further directed prosecutors to complete their investigations and file all disclosures within 14 days.
Earlier, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) launched yet another attack on a judge, this time around the circuit court judge handling the case of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, commonly known as Abronye DC.
The minority leader, speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, fired shots at the circuit court judge, alleging that he doubts whether the judge passed his law exams.
According to Afenyo-Markin, he will continue to disrespect the circuit court judge until he upholds the law, alleging that the judge has no respect for his own judicial oath.
Speaking at a press briefing on May 17, 2026, Afenyo-Markin stated, “That judge has no respect for his own judicial oath. I don’t think he read the law. That circuit court judge called Niger. I have no respect for him. For a judge to say that he’s remanding him into BNI custody until the case is finally determined, such a judge can never have my respect.
“I pray that he summons me for contempt. I will continue to disrespect him until he upholds the law. He’s gone beyond his judicial function, and it is not his first time. It’s as if he has been selected purposely to achieve this. He doesn’t talk law. I don’t know whether he ever passed his law exams. He’s a shame,” he fumed.
Afenyo-Markin added, “It’s a shame on the judiciary, and my Lord Baffoe must pay attention to this, for whatever it is, it’s about his legacy. I’m told that by December, he will be 70, and he will be gone. Is that the legacy he wants to leave after Torkornoo was booted out of office and all manner of accusations levelled against Torkornoo? Is that the judiciary?
“The judiciary, they said, they were going to reset. Is that a reset? Where a judge will say he is remanding an accused person because if he allows him to go home, if he grants him bail, he’s likely to talk again, so he should remain in custody?” he said.
