The Accra Circuit Court has ordered the remand of Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), into police custody for one week.
Abronye appeared in court on charges of offensive conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace and publication of false news. The complainant in the case is the Ghana Police Service. He is scheduled to reappear before the court on September 19.
In a statement released on Monday, September 8, the Police confirmed Abronye’s arrest last week and his detention ahead of his arraignment. While the Police have not provided full details of the alleged conduct, the outspoken politician has recently drawn widespread public attention.
Abronye, who previously claimed political persecution, had reportedly sought asylum in eight countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire.
As part of the ongoing probe, officers also searched the home of former NPP Youth Organiser Moses Abor on Sunday, though Abronye was not found there at the time. The case is expected back in court on September 19.
