Minority Leader Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin has criticised the handling of the bail application involving Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, describing the process as unfair and troubling.
In a post shared on his X page, Afenyo-Markin raised concerns over what he claimed were irregular developments surrounding the case, including the reassignment of the bail application from one court to another.
According to him, the bail application filed on May 14, 2026, was initially assigned to Criminal Court 2 but was later withdrawn by the Registrar on Friday, May 15, 2026.
He further alleged that on the hearing date, Abronye’s legal team was first informed the case would be heard in Criminal Court 2 before being redirected to General Jurisdiction Court 2.
Afenyo-Markin also questioned the Attorney General’s request for additional time to respond to the bail application, arguing that the filing had already been served several days earlier.
He said the delay prevented Abronye’s lawyers from moving the bail application in court, resulting in an adjournment while the NPP Bono Regional Chairman remains in the custody of the BNI.
“What is happening to Abronye is unjust and unfair!!!” Afenyo-Markin wrote.
The development has heightened concerns within the New Patriotic Party, whose leaders have repeatedly accused state institutions of targeting opposition members.
Abronye was remanded into custody over allegations of spreading false news, a case that has sparked political debate over due process, fairness and the treatment of opposition figures within the justice system.
