The Accra Circuit Court has granted GH¢50,000 bail with one surety to Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The ruling follows Abronye’s primary attorney, Daniel Martey Addo, who urged the court to take into account his declining health while in detention, particularly high blood pressure, while determining whether to grant bail.
NPP fans and party leaders expressed increasing anxiety as Abronye DC, who has been in police prison since his arrest on September 8, 2025, made an appearance in court on Monday.
There has been much discussion about his detention, with some NPP members characterizing the action as politically motivated. Abronye and his legal team were relieved when the court, presided over by Judge Samuel Bright Acquah, decided in favor of bail.
Attorney Daniel Martey Addo clarified that Abronye’s health had deteriorated while in detention, stressing the importance of receiving medical care, in an interview with Omanhene Kwabena Asante on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM on September 15.
Addo said the announcement of the bail has given his client some relief.
“Abronye is battling health issues including high blood pressure, hence the need for the judge to grant him bail,” Addo stated.
Abronye is charged with “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace,” in response to remarks he made in a social media video that went viral.
His remarks, which included criticism of the Inspector General of Police, were deemed by the prosecution to be potentially dangerous for national security. Even though bail was initially denied on September 9 and September 12, the court reconsidered the application on Monday.

NPP figures, including Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and former National Chairman Freddie Blay, had previously stormed the court in support of Abronye, arguing against what they called political persecution. The Minority Caucus in Parliament condemned the arrest as part of a pattern of intimidation against opposition members.
Abronye is expected to reappear in court on September 19, 2025, as investigations continue. His case has highlighted ongoing tensions between Ghana’s major political parties, with calls for fair treatment under the law.
