Accra: The Accra High Court has granted bail of GHC100,000 with two sureties to Mr. Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, who is the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party. The Court has stipulated that one of the sureties must be justified with landed property, and Mr. Baffoe is required to surrender his passport to the Registry, seeking permission before travelling outside the jurisdiction.
According to Ghana News Agency, Justice Halimah El-Alawa Abdul-Baasit, who presided over the case, further instructed Mr. Baffoe to report once every fortnight at the Police Headquarters. These orders were issued following a bail application moved by Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, led by Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame. Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney General, did not oppose the application.
Mr. Baffoe had previously been remanded by an Accra Circuit Court on May 13, 2026, after pleading not guilty to charges of offensive conduct to the breach of peace and the publication of false news. His legal team subsequently filed for bail at the High Court.
During the proceedings, the courtroom was filled with party supporters and lawyers, although Mr. Baffoe was not present. The accusations against him include describing a Circuit Court Judge in Adenta as a 'political judge' and claiming that the judge's rulings contained grammatical errors.
