The Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service has arrested Bono regional Chairman of opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, over allegations of false publication and issuing threats against a judge.
The arrest, which took place on April 13, 2026, follows claims that the political communicator circulated information deemed false, causing fear and panic among the public. Authorities also allege that he made threatening remarks directed at a judge of the Adenta Circuit Court.
According to police sources, the suspect is currently assisting with investigations as part of efforts to determine the full extent of the alleged offenses. The charges under consideration include the publication of false news, conduct likely to disturb public peace, and threats against a judicial officer.
While details of the alleged statements have not been fully disclosed, legal experts note that such offenses, if proven, could carry significant legal consequences under Ghana’s criminal laws.
The police have reiterated their commitment to upholding law and order, warning against the spread of misinformation and acts that could undermine public confidence in the judiciary.
Further updates are expected as investigations progress and the case potentially proceeds to court.
