The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has recounted his ordeal with the Ghana Police Service during his recent arrest for what the police described as offensive conduct.

According to him, upon his arrest, the police demanded his mobile phones in order to scan and search for the sources of evidence and allegations he constantly makes against the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.

Speaking for the first time after his release from custody on September 22, 2025, on his Ohia TV show, Abronye claimed the police suspected that some government officials were leaking information to him, hence their insistence on seizing his phone.

He further disclosed that the police questioned him about two companies he owns and demanded to know whether he had used those companies to secure government contracts.

In addition, he alleged that the police asked him to identify the locations of 15 houses purportedly belonging to him, an allegation he dismissed as political propaganda.

He told the police that if they were able to locate such houses, he was ready to donate them to the state.

Abronye insisted that his arrest and prosecution would not silence him.

"The NDC government cannot silence me because of my mouth. When Tetteh Yohonu came to arrest me, the first thing they demanded was my mobile phone so they could track my information. They mentioned two companies, Asampa Country Men and Abronye Communication and Mining and asked which government contracts I had used them for.

"I told them jokingly that I used them to build the Jubilee House because they cannot take me there and ask me unnecessary questions."

He added that the companies were still in operation after almost nine years without securing any government work, yet the police attempted to charge him by claiming he had insulted the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

"They also questioned me about my alleged 15 houses in Accra, an accusation made by an ally of Kennedy Agyapong. I told them to go and look for the houses and give them to the state, because they wanted to know where the houses were," he added.
