Police search for Abronye in Abor's house
On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the police had allegedly raided the residence of the former NPP Greater Accra Youth Organiser, Moses Abor, in search of Abronye DC.
He was, however, not in his fellow politician's house at the time.
Speaking to the media after the raid, Abor stated that some of the security operatives were masked and others were armed as they searched his home for the NPP's Bono Regional Chairman.
He further explained that it was only after they had searched everywhere in his house that they told him their reason for the visit.
“They searched the entire house. They searched all the rooms, my gardens, and even went into the next house. The police were there. Some of them were armed. They did not give the reason for their search until they were done.”
According to Abor, the police accused him of hiding Abronye DC in his house, an allegation he vehemently denied.
“When they finished searching the house, they said I was keeping Abronye in my house. So, I asked them where they heard that. They later claimed my car belonged to Abronye, and I told them it is the one I use.”
Randy Abbey sues Abronye DC for GH¢20m
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (Cocobod), Dr Randy Abbey, has filed a suit against Abronye DC.
In the suit, filed on August 26, 2025, he demanded GH¢20 million in damages for allegedly false and defamatory statements made by the NPP politician during a broadcast on August 23, 2025.
The Cocobod CEO stated in the writ of summons that the Bono Regional Chairman had made baseless accusation against him with the sole purpose of tarnishing his reputation.
