Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, is currently in custody following his arrest for alleged offensive conduct. The Accra Circuit Court has denied him bail, remanding him until his next appearance on Friday, September 12.
But the controversy surrounding his detention has deepened. According to lawyer Kwesi Botchway Jnr, Abronye’s family and legal team have been denied access to him since Monday, raising serious concerns about his welfare. Allegations have surfaced that he has not eaten since his arrest, and that he may be held at a location other than standard police custody — possibly the National Intelligence Bureau.
The situation has sparked outrage among party supporters and legal observers, who argue that the denial of access violates basic rights and court protocols. Botchway has publicly criticized the handling of the case, warning that political power is transient and that today’s enforcers may face scrutiny tomorrow.
The arrest comes at a time of heightened political sensitivity, with critics warning that such detentions could erode public trust in law enforcement and judicial independence. For now, Abronye remains in custody, and the pressure is mounting for authorities to clarify his status and uphold due process.
