The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, has been remanded into police custody for two weeks by an Accra Circuit Court.
The court explained that the remand is to allow prosecutors sufficient time to conduct further investigations into the case.
The politician was arrested on Monday, September 8, by the Ghana Police Service.
He has been charged with “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace” and has remained in custody since his arrest.
The court ruled on Friday that he is to reappear on September 26, 2025, as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, Enoch Afoakwa, the lawyer for the accused, has revealed that his client is currently on a hunger strike.
According to him, the protest is in response to what his client views as political persecution.
Speaking after his client was remanded into custody, Afoakwa said, “Abronye is a man full of life. He knows that this is just mere political persecution, and certainly he is hopeful that his liberty will be restored.” Afoakwa added, “Yes, he is pursuing what he is pursuing in furtherance of democracy. Certainly, [he is on a hunger strike],” the lawyer added.
