The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe (known as Abronye DC), and the party’s Sunyani East Communications Officer, Abubakar Yakubu (Baba Amando), have been granted bail by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
The two were released on Monday following hours of interrogation at the CID headquarters in Accra.
Their release was facilitated by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who acted as surety for both men.
Abronye DC is being investigated for alleged threats directed at a judge presiding over a case at the Adenta Circuit Court, while Baba Amando is facing inquiries for alleged false publication.
After their release, Mr. Afenyo-Markin called on law enforcement to exercise tolerance and professionalism in politically sensitive matters.
He thanked the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and CID leadership for their responsiveness.
The NPP has reacted sharply, accusing the government of using state institutions to target opposition figures.
The party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, alleged the arrests are a distraction from the government’s governance challenges, including unmet economic and legislative commitments.
He warned that such actions could deepen political tensions if not handled carefully.
The police are yet to provide further official details on the ongoing investigations.
