The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, has been arrested by the police. The reason for his arrest is not yet clear, but it comes just days after he formally requested political asylum in eight countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
In his asylum application, Abronye alleged that he is facing growing political persecution, death threats, and the misuse of state security powers against him by the current government. He insisted that these threats have put his life in danger, making it unsafe for him to remain in Ghana.
Meanwhile, in a related development, armed police officers reportedly stormed the residence of former NPP Youth Organiser, Moses Abor, on Sunday, allegedly in connection with the matter. However, they did not find Abronye at the location.
