Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC and Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been arrested by the CID Headquarters of the Ghana Police Service.
The arrest is linked to allegations of false publication, conduct likely to cause fear and panic, and issuing threats against a judge at the Adenta Circuit Court.
Authorities are expected to proceed with investigations as legal processes unfold, with further details likely to emerge in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Abronye DC has been released by the Ghana Police Service following his arrest on Monday, April 13, 2026.
A viral video shared by TV3 on Monday evening showed the moment Abronye was released by the police.
In the viral video, Abronye was captured in the company of leading figures of the party, including the Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin; Deputy Minority Chief Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib; and the National Organiser of the party, Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), and others.
The Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP was released after a bail bond execution by Minority Leader Afenyo-Markin.
Afenyo-Markin also praised the cooperation from the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and the Director-General of CID, Lydia Donkor.
Last year, Abronye DC was arrested on 8 October 2025 and granted bail of GH¢1 million with two sureties.
According to reports, Abronye has been re-arrested and charged with two new criminal counts. The court has granted him bail set at GH¢1 million with two sureties for the offences related to false publication and insulting conduct.
Abronye has alleged that his second arrest was orchestrated by the bodyguard of NPP flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong.
This marks the second time in three weeks that Abronye has been arrested.
It will be recalled that 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”.
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.
Abronye was granted bail of the sum of GH¢50,000 with one surety, without justification.
Meanwhile, Abronye DC has confidently declared that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government cannot silence him because of his mouth.
Abronye, on his Ohia TV show, has detailed his ordeal with the Ghana Police Service.
According to Abronye, the Police suspected some government officials were leaking information to him and wanted to seize his phone.
He revealed that the Police demanded his mobile phones to scan and search for the sources of evidence and allegations.
Abronye also revealed that the Police questioned him about two companies he owned and some fifteen houses they allegedly claimed he owned.
The NPP regional Chairman insisted that his arrest and prosecution would not silence him.
Speaking for the first time on the Ohia TV show, Abronye, “The NDC government cannot silence me because of my mouth. When Tetteh Yohonu came to arrest me, the first thing they demanded was my mobile phone so they could track my information. They mentioned two companies, Asampa Country Men and Abronye Communication and Mining and asked which government contracts I had used them for”.
“I told them jokingly that I used them to build the Jubilee House because they cannot take me there and ask me unnecessary questions”.
He added, “They also questioned me about my alleged 15 houses in Accra, an accusation made by an ally of Kennedy Agyapong. I told them to go and look for the houses and give them to the state, because they wanted to know where the houses were”, he added.
