Abronye Questions Court’s Reasoning Behind Earlier Detention Order
Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC, has voiced dissatisfaction with the judicial decision that previously placed him in the custody of the Bureau of National Intelligence (BNI), arguing that he was denied the chance to address concerns that influenced the ruling.
Speaking after a court appearance on Monday, the outspoken politician said he was taken aback by the court’s assessment that releasing him on bail could lead to the commission of additional offences.
According to Abronye, such a conclusion should not have been reached without first allowing him or his lawyers to respond to any evidence or arguments presented before the court.
He maintained that while judges have the authority to grant or refuse bail, those decisions must be grounded in fairness and due process, with all parties given an opportunity to be heard.
The NPP executive noted that his legal team subsequently sought relief from the High Court, which granted him bail. The latest proceedings focused on a request to amend some of the conditions attached to that bail arrangement, with the matter adjourned for further hearing.
Addressing questions about his previous absence from the country, Abronye stated that the trial court had been informed of his medical situation and was aware that he had returned to Ghana. He said he had willingly appeared before the court alongside his lawyers to demonstrate his readiness to participate in the legal process.
Although he stopped short of claiming political influence in the case, he described the remand order as a judicial outcome that should be reconsidered through the appropriate legal channels.
Abronye added that his lawyers remain committed to challenging aspects of the decision as they pursue a review of the ruling and the conditions attached to his bail.
The case, which involves proceedings in which the Inspector-General of Police is listed as the complainant, continues to attract public and political attention due to Abronye’s prominent role within the opposition NPP and his active presence in national political discourse.
