Abronye was arrested by the Ghana Police Service for what the service described as “offensive conduct.”

In a statement shared on the Ghana 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 the 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.
