Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been granted bail by the Accra Circuit Court.
The bail was set at GH¢50,000 with one surety, though the court did not provide a formal explanation for its decision.
Abronye’s legal team, led by Daniel Mantey Addo, disclosed that his health had significantly worsened during his time in police custody. The announcement of bail has reportedly brought him a measure of relief, and efforts are underway to fulfill the bail conditions to ensure his swift release.
The politician had been remanded into custody on Friday, September 12, following an earlier arrest on September 8. Authorities cited “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace” as the basis for his detention.
He was initially remanded on September 10, with the court extending his stay for a week to allow prosecutors to continue their investigations.
His arrest and subsequent detention have ignited public debate, with some members of the NPP alleging that the move was politically motivated.
