Speaking after posting bail, Abronye alleged that his recent arrest was part of a plan by the current government to suppress his freedom of speech.

The Bono NPP chairman, who now hosts a political web show on YouTube, said he would not be perturbed by the government's supposed efforts to silence him.

"We will not be silenced. We will continue to express our opinions, and anytime we are called upon, we will come. If you plan to quench our fire with these arrests, forget it," Abronye said.
