According to him, Abronye DC had been unwell for some time and was in Accra on Monday to seek medical attention when the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service invited him for questioning.
However, upon arrival at the CID headquarters, the police detained him.
Speaking to a blogger, KOKA claimed that Abronye DC was immediately rushed to hospital after his lawyers secured bail for him.
He also indicated that the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP is currently in a critical condition and receiving emergency care at the hospital.
“He came to Accra for a medical check-up because he was unwell. So when they [the police] invited him and he went, they questioned and detained him. They released him in the evening, but he is currently in the intensive care unit. He is unwell and receiving treatment. So we plead with all those calling his phone to stay calm. The Chairman is okay, just that he is unwell,” KOKA disclosed.

Why was Abronye DC arrested?
Abronye DC's recent arrest follows allegations of false publication, conduct likely to cause fear and panic, and issuing threats against a judge at the Adenta Circuit Court.
The development has drawn widespread public attention, with many awaiting further details from authorities regarding the case.
Baffoe has been arrested multiple times over the last year. Most recently, on October 8, 2025, he spent several hours in police detention over comments made related to Kennedy Agyapong.
This arrest comes after the NPP Sunyani East Constituency Communications Officer, Abubakar Yakubu, aka Baba Amando, was also arrested.
Adom News reported that the New Patriotic Party condemned the arrest as curtailing freedom of speech.
"The NPP views this development as yet another example of the growing use of state security apparatus to intimidate and silence dissenting voices under the administration of President John Mahama. The Party is particularly concerned that this action raises serious questions about the state of free speech and civil liberties in the country."
