Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has condemned the continued detention of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as "Abronye DC".
Abronye was remanded into police custody for one week by an Accra Circuit Court to allow prosecutors more time to conduct probings. He was first apprehended on Monday, September 8, by the Ghana Police Service.
Granting an interview to Citi FM’s Sammi Wiafe on Eyewitness News on Friday, September 12, Mr. Kpebu appealed to the NPP bigwigs to reach out to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to secure Abronye’s release.
Kpebu opined that the case against the NPP regional chairman involves a minor offence and does not warrant prolonged detention. He argued that Abronye poses no flight risk and should be granted his freedom while the case continues.
He therefore said that the IGP previously served as Deputy IGP under former President Akufo-Addo, concluding that such ties could influence a favourable resolution if NPP leaders step in.
“This is a small offence that somebody in the position of a regional chairman is not likely to abscond. It’s a small offence. This is a case that if big people in NPP go to beg the IGP, this case can be withdrawn. Remember that just a few months ago, Christian Tetteh Yohuno was deputy IGP during Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
“You can see that he has some rapport with the NPP. If the right calibre of seniors in NPP can go and beg the IGP, this case can be withdrawn. He can not refuse if they beg. This is not a serious case that he should stay in custody for one more week; we can’t allow that to happen in the country. We’re begging IGP Yohuno,” Kpebu submitted.
