His remarks come after the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, was remanded into police custody on Tuesday. He is expected to reappear in court on Friday, September 12.

The Ghana Police Service confirmed Abronye’s arrest on Monday, September 8, citing “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.” He was detained earlier that day and remains in custody.

Abronye, well known for his outspoken political commentary, currently serves as the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP. His arrest follows his recent applications for political asylum in eight countries—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Côte d’Ivoire—where he alleged political persecution and threats to his life. He accused the government of weaponising state security agencies against opposition members.

In a Facebook post on September 9, Nana Boakye expressed concern that almost a week after the NPP lodged a complaint against Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab for allegedly issuing death threats during the Akwatia by-election, no action had been taken by the police.

He said the alleged threats were directed at Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, NPP Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and himself.

He contrasted this with what he described as the “swift” action against Abronye, who was “arrested, denied adequate legal representation, and arraigned before court within 48 hours over alleged misdemeanours.”

Mr. Boakye warned that the trend of “selective justice” and “open bias” was eroding public trust in the Ghana Police Service.

He urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to demonstrate impartiality and resist what he alleged were attempts by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to politicise the security services.

“The NPP shall rise against such wanton display of selective justice, open bias against the NPP, and unfair application of the law. We have a democracy to protect,” he stressed.
