Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service.
On Sunday, September 7, 2025, about 16 armed officers stormed the residence of former NPP Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser, Moses Abor, in three Tundra vehicles and on motorbikes.
In a viral video, some police officers were seen invading Moses Abor’s residence on Sunday, September 7, 2025.
Reports suggest the officers were in search of Kwame Baffoe Abronye, popularly known as Abronye DC, who is wanted.
The police claim they acted on intelligence that Abronye was being harboured at the property.
Abronye’s arrest came on the back of him seeking political asylum and security protection over threats on his life by government operatives and IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno and his boys.
Abronye, in a detailed letter, September 5, 2025, appealed to the embassies and high commissions of Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Côte d’Ivoire, Spain, France and Italy for urgent protection.
According to Abronye, his troubles started immediately after the NDC assumed office in January 2025.
He revealed he was the first opposition politician invited, arrested and detained by the government following his criticism of the government’s dismissal of more than 150,000 workers.
He claims, “The first opposition politician to be invited, arrested and detained by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB)”.
“During my detention, I was threatened, intimidated and sternly warned that unless I ceased criticising the government, I would face more severe reprisals,” he wrote.
Abronye also alleged that the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, was involved in selective arrests of opposition members.
“He ordered me to report to the National Police Headquarters immediately to answer questions as to why I had been insulting and disrespecting the IGP. He warned that if I failed to comply, I would be dealt with mercilessly and that I ‘wouldn’t come back to life,'” Abronye recounted.
He detailed that when his lawyers wrote to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to verify the summons, they were informed them no complaint or investigation had been initiated against him.
“The supposed investigator refused to clarify and instead ominously stated: tell that boy that if he refuses to come and we pick him up, he won’t come back to life”.
Abronye cited international law in his appeal for political asylum, under the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the 1969 OAU Refugee Convention and the UNHCR Guidelines on International Protection.
“This application is respectfully grounded upon binding international legal instruments that recognise the well-founded fear of persecution for political opinion and prohibit refoulement”, he stated.
He added that copies of his application had been sent to the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office in Ghana, UNHCR Ghana, UNDP Ghana and the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS).
He wrote, “I respectfully seek political asylum and security protection in your country.
“I place my trust in your respected institution to consider my case urgently and extend the necessary humanitarian assistance and protection under international conventions governing the rights of asylum seekers”.
Meanwhile, Titus Glover, the former Greater Accra Regional Minister, has quizzed the John Mahama-led government following a raid on the residence of former NPP Greater Accra Youth Organiser Moses Abor.
The former Greater Accra Regional Minister questioned the Mahama-led administration about whether their reset agenda is to scare Ghanaians.
According to Titus Glover, should anything happen to Moses Abor or Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, the government will be held responsible.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Titus Glover stated, “Is Mahama’s reset agenda to scare Ghanaians? I don’t get it.
A policeman climbed a wall into a house to raid Moses Abor’s home. That’s trespassing”, he added.
He, however, urged the Mahama government to direct its efforts at solving pressing national security challenges and to stop harassing political opponents.
