The National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has vowed retaliation against the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the arrest and remand of NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye.

Speaking to the media outside the Accra Circuit Court on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, after Abronye was remanded, Mustapha declared, “Power has an end, the tables will turn, and we will all have our revenge.”

Salam Mustapha made the brief comment while joined by some members of his party who were chanting the NPP’s anthem as a police Black Maria drove Abronye back into custody.

Abronye was remanded into police custody on September 9, 2025, and is scheduled to reappear in court on September 12, 2025, following his arraignment by the police.

The Ghana Police Service confirmed his arrest on Monday, September 8, 2025, citing “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.”

His arrest follows his recent application for political asylum in eight countries—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire—where he alleged political persecution and threats on his life, accusing the NDC government of targeting opposition members via state security agencies.

Meanwhile, Kwesi Botchway Jnr, an NPP communications team member and private legal practitioner, has provided details on the arrest of Kwame Baffoe, alias Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a Facebook post following earlier reports of Abronye’s arrest on Monday, September 8, 2025, Botchway revealed that Abronye was arrested after voluntarily honouring a police invitation to the CID Headquarters in Accra at 10:30 am.

According to the lawyer, Abronye was interrogated for about two hours and charged with breach of peace and publication of false news, based on a video in which he criticised the Inspector General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno.

Kwesi Botchway noted that Abronye’s lawyer was informed his client was being transferred to the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), but upon arrival, Abronye was not there, and his whereabouts remained unknown as of 1:00 pm of September 8, 2025.
