(In Ghana) Abronye DC’s Arrest Sparks Speculation Amid Asylum Claims

 

The arrest of Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has set Ghana’s political scene abuzz. Police detained the outspoken politician under unclear circumstances, prompting widespread speculation about the motives behind the move.

Attention has quickly turned to Abronye’s recent asylum applications in several countries, where he cited alleged threats to his life, unlawful detention, and systemic abuse of state powers by ruling party affiliates. His claims of political persecution have fueled debate over whether his arrest is linked to these assertions.

Reports suggest police earlier raided the home of former NPP Youth Organiser Moses Abor, reportedly in search of Abronye. Abor denied harbouring him, insisting he has not seen him in over a year.

With official statements from the Ghana Police Service still pending, the arrest continues to stir controversy, deepening public debate over politics, security, and accountability.
