Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional NPP Chairman, has been granted bail by the court.
Abronye DC has been granted bail of the sum of GH¢50,000 with one surety, without justification.
Abronye’s lead counsel, Daniel Mantey Addo, has revealed that his client’s health has deteriorated.
He added that the legal team is working to meet the bail conditions to secure his immediate release.
Over the weekend, Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, revealed that the Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine, had already indicated plans to intervene to ensure that Abronye is granted bail.
According to Martin Kpebu, Abronye should not be kept in custody for a week over his misdemeanour.
He revealed that the court can sit at any time, and the necessary legal processes can be filed to secure Abronye’s bail immediately.
Lawyer Kpebu cautioned the government to protect democratic freedoms and respect the rule of law.
Speaking on TV3’s Key Points program on Saturday, September 13, 2025, Martin Kpebu stated, “Ayine is stepping in so that, latest by Monday, Abronye should be out. This is not what we voted you guys in to do”.
He further added, “Abronye doesn’t have to be in custody for even one week. Today, the right process can be filed, the judge can sit today, and grant Abronye bail. If we don’t speak up, it will grow and become worse”.
“We have grown past the communist inferior tactics. I am not, for one moment, supporting the despicable comment by Abronye, but these are misdemeanours,” he indicated.
Also, the private legal practitioner in a separate interview highlighted that the NDC must know Ghanaians did not vote for them for this type of unlawful governance.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on September 12, 2025, Martin Kpebu stated, “We must let the Attorney-General and IGP Yohuno know that this is not lawful. We didn’t vote for the NDC for this type of governance, and I cannot be part of this type of government”.
Lawyer Kpebu argued that the state must proceed to court while granting Abronye bail if they found the comments to be offensive.
He explained, “If they don’t want to forgive him, they can grant him bail as the case proceeds. When the verdict comes and it is too much, then we can talk about it”.
He cautioned that denying Abronye bail in a misdemeanour case sets a dangerous precedent “If in a misdemeanour case, Abronye cannot secure bail, then it means the verdict on my Kpebu Number 2 case in 2016 is void and useless. As citizens, we must get up and resist this, or else it will lead to tyranny”.
Lawyer Kpebu called on Abronye’s legal team to seek redress at the Human Rights Court.
“This is wrong and a sad day for our democracy. We must all rally support and speak against this because we cannot retrogress as a nation,” Kpebu said.
Abronye was arrested on Monday, September 8, by the Ghana Police Service, based on what the police described as “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.”
The Accra Circuit Court had also remanded Abronye into police custody for one week.
Before his arrest, he had sought 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.
