The Accra High Court has granted bail to the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
He was admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with two sureties on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Abronye DC had been remanded into custody by Circuit Court 9 in Accra over allegations of spreading false news. His legal team challenged the remand, arguing that his continued detention was unjustified.
The case has attracted significant political attention, particularly after he was rearrested following an earlier grant of bail during investigations.
Ahead of the High Court ruling, the NPP strongly criticised the handling of the matter. The party described the transfer of the case from Criminal Court Two to General Jurisdiction Two as “mind-boggling” and accused authorities of deliberately attempting to frustrate the bail application.
The NPP also raised broader concerns about what it described as growing political intimidation and harassment of opposition figures under the current administration.
