Malik Basintale stroke rumours shared by Abronye
The video of Malik Basintale followed a Facebook post by the YEA CEO on Sunday, November 16, 2025, denying the rumours.
As previously reported by YEN.com.gh, he had described the rumours as false news, stating that he was neither down with a stroke nor in the UK for treatment.
See the Facebook post below:
Even though his appearance on social media and denial of the sickness rumours excited his followers, there were others who still had doubts.
The latest video seems to be a move to clear all doubts concerning the stroke rumours, which were started by X accounts associated with the NPP and given credence by Abronye DC.
On Friday, November 14, 2025, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, aka Abronye DC, deepened the rumour claiming that Basintale was sick and was receiving treatment abroad.
Speaking on The Evidence Show on his Ohia TV on Facebook, Abronye stated that Basintale had not been feeling well for about one month now and had been flown to the UK.
He noted that even though Malik Basintale belonged to a different political party, he was not going to jubilate about him not feeling well and thus prayed for his recovery.
