A Circuit Court has ordered the remand of Abronye DC, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), into police custody until Friday, September 12.
The ruling came after prosecutors argued strongly that the accused should remain in custody to assist ongoing investigations. Although the full details of the charges have not been disclosed, the case has quickly drawn nationwide attention due to Abronye DC’s prominence in Ghana’s political space.
Appearing in court under heavy security, Abronye DC looked calm as his lawyers requested bail. The legal team insisted that their client posed no flight risk and should be released while investigations continue.
However, the court turned down the application, ruling that the accused be held until the next sitting. This decision has set the stage for a closely watched hearing on September 12, when further clarity on the charges and direction of the case is expected.
The remand has ignited debate across political lines. Supporters of the decision argue that it demonstrates the commitment of the justice system to uphold accountability, while critics describe it as a politically motivated attempt to silence a vocal figure.
Police presence around the court premises was heightened during the proceedings, with officers closely monitoring movements to forestall any unrest. Security has also been tightened in some parts of the Bono Region, where Abronye DC commands significant support.
For now, the spotlight remains on the upcoming September 12 hearing, which is expected to provide more answers and possibly determine whether the NPP Chairman will regain his freedom or face further legal battles.
