Gomoa Central MP Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus, has stirred controversy after publicly calling for the release of Bono Regional NPP Chairman Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, who was arrested on September 8 for offensive conduct deemed conducive to a breach of the peace.
Abronye was remanded into police custody following his court appearance on September 9 and is expected to reappear on September 12. His arrest has reignited debates over the criminalization of insults and the boundaries of free speech in Ghana’s political discourse.
A Plus, known for his own history of fiery public commentary, argued that insults should not be grounds for detention. His remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing his stance as principled and others accusing him of hypocrisy, given his past verbal clashes with Abronye.
The two have a long-standing feud marked by unfiltered exchanges and personal attacks. Yet A Plus’s recent show of solidarity has surprised many, prompting speculation about whether his support is genuine or sarcastic.
Social media users have weighed in, with some applauding the MP for defending civil liberties, while others suggest he’s simply defending behavior he himself engages in. The incident has also sparked broader conversations about political accountability, the role of satire, and whether Ghana’s legal system should treat verbal provocations as criminal offenses.
As Abronye’s next court date approaches, the tension between freedom of expression and public order remains at the center of national debate — and A Plus has once again positioned himself squarely in the middle of it.
