Police Arrest NPP’s Abronye Over Alleged Offensive Conduct
The Ghana Police Service has arrested Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, for what they describe as offensive conduct likely to disturb public peace.
In a statement issued on Monday, September 8, the Police confirmed that Abronye was taken into custody earlier in the day and is currently being held. He is expected to be arraigned before court in the coming days.
Although the statement did not provide details of the incident that triggered his arrest, Abronye has in recent weeks drawn public attention after filing asylum applications in eight countries — including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire — citing political persecution and threats to his life.
Meanwhile, Police investigations linked to Abronye also prompted a search of the residence of former NPP Youth Organiser, Moses Abor, on Sunday. However, Mr. Abor was not found during the operation.
