The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has been remanded again by the Accra Circuit Court.

Despite the fierce argument by his lawyers during proceedings on Friday, September 12, 2025, the court denied Abronye, who has been charged with “offensive conduct”, bail again.

According to GhanaWeb’s reporter, George Ayisi, the court remanded Abronye DC for one week after denying him bail.

The judge adjourned the case to Friday, September 19, 2025.

Police reinforcements were deployed to the court to help ensure order because of the number of New Patriotic Party members who trooped to the court to demand Abronye’s release.

The 'sin' of Abronye DCE

Abronye, whose first bail application was denied by the court, was arrested by the Ghana Police Service for what the Service described as “offensive conduct.”

In a statement shared on the Police Service’s official social media platforms on September 8, 2025, the Service announced that Abronye DC would be processed for court.

“The Ghana Police Service has today, 08/09/25, arrested Mr. Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye, for offensive conduct conducive to the breach of peace. He is currently in custody and will be put before court,” the statement read.

The arrest follows Abronye’s recent attempts to seek political asylum in eight countries, including Côte d’Ivoire and the United States.

He cited political persecution, threats to his life, and alleged abuse of state security powers by the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as reasons for his request.

His asylum application has been cited as the reason he was denied bail by the court.
