The Accra High Court has granted bail to the Bono Regional Chairman of Ghana’s opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC.
He was released on bail of GH¢100,000 with two sureties after a hearing on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Abronye DC had previously been remanded into custody by Circuit Court 9 in Accra over allegations of spreading false news. His lawyers challenged the remand order, arguing that his continued detention was unjustified.
The case has drawn significant political attention following his rearrest after he was earlier granted bail during ongoing investigations.
Ahead of the High Court ruling, the NPP criticised the handling of the bail process, describing the transfer of the case from Criminal Court Two to General Jurisdiction Two as “mind-boggling”.
The party also accused authorities of attempting to frustrate the bail application and raised concerns about what it described as growing political intimidation against opposition figures.
