The court issued the directive after the politician reportedly failed to comply with an explicit instruction requiring him to surrender his passport as part of his bail conditions in an ongoing criminal case.

Kwame Baffoe was completely absent from the courtroom when the final ruling was delivered by the judge.

The prominent Bono Regional Chairman is currently facing a serious charge of false publication in a legal case brought against him directly by the State.

Abronye DC reportedly violates bail terms

In May 2026, the High Court granted him bail after he had earlier been remanded following his initial arraignment on the criminal charge.

As a core part of the official bail conditions, he was explicitly directed by the judge to deposit his passport with the court.

However, his total failure to comply with that mandatory directive prompted the high court to officially revoke the relief granted previously and order his immediate remand in police custody.

The unexpected judicial development has triggered a lot of conversation within political circles and among citizens monitoring accountability in the country.
