The Ghana Police Service has reportedly taken into custody the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye.
Although details of his arrest are still emerging, it comes shortly after a high-profile raid on the residence of former NPP Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser, Moses Abor.
Security officers stormed his home on Sunday in search of Abronye, an operation that has since drawn sharp criticism from sections of the public.
Just days earlier, on September 5, Abronye formally petitioned several foreign embassies seeking political asylum.
His requests were sent to eight countries, including Côte d’Ivoire, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Canada.
In his petition, the outspoken NPP figure alleged that he has been subjected to growing political intimidation, threats to his life, and what he described as abuse of state security powers by the current government.
He argued that these conditions place him and his family in danger, justifying his call for international protection.
