The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Abronye DC, has been arrested by the police. His arrest has quickly become a major issue in politics and society.
Police picked him up on Sunday, September 8, for questioning. They explained that their action was based on security and legal reasons.
The arrest shocked many people in the Bono Region and beyond. Supporters and critics are both closely following the story.
He was taken to the Accra Circuit Court the next day. The court ordered that he should remain in detention for now.
The judge instructed him to return to court on September 12. This will give investigators more time to gather information about the case.
Police sources said his arrest was linked to disturbing public peace. They added that the move was to maintain law and order in the country.
Some reports suggest that his behavior in recent weeks caused tension. Authorities felt they had to act quickly to avoid further problems.
In the middle of these troubles, a video interview of Abronye went viral online. In the video, he spoke about threats to his personal safety.
He said his life has been in danger since the NDC came to power. He also claimed that both local and foreign forces were targeting him.
Abronye warned that if anything bad happened to him, Ghanaians should blame President John Dramani Mahama. He insisted the President is responsible for protecting all citizens, including his opponents.
Political experts believe his comments have added fuel to the fire. They said such words could create more mistrust between the ruling NDC and the opposition NPP.
Supporters of the NPP are very worried about his safety in custody. They want him to be treated fairly and given strong protection by the state.
Critics, however, say the arrest was necessary. They believe he often makes reckless statements that disturb the peace of the nation.
Some commentators think this case will test the country’s justice system. They argue that the courts must act firmly but also fairly in handling the matter.
The arrest has now become a key talking point in Ghana’s politics. Many citizens are waiting to see what will happen when he returns to court on September 12.
