The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has been remanded for two weeks in connection with ongoing investigations into alleged misinformation and offensive public statements.
The latest arrest occurred on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, barely weeks after he had earlier been granted bail following a previous arrest linked to the same matter.
Abronye DC was initially picked up by authorities on Monday, April 13, as part of investigations into allegations of offensive conduct, false publication, and statements deemed likely to incite fear and panic among the public.
Following his first arrest, he was subsequently granted bail while investigations continued.
However, authorities have now rearrested the outspoken politician as investigators intensify efforts to probe the allegations against him.
Although details surrounding the latest arrest remain unclear, sources close to the investigations indicate that the case forms part of broader efforts by security agencies to clamp down on the spread of alleged false information and inflammatory public commentary capable of disturbing public peace.
Officials have yet to release detailed information regarding the specific circumstances surrounding the latest arrest or whether fresh charges would be filed against him.
