Just days after finding himself back in custody for breaching his bail terms, NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC), has secured a legal victory.
The Accra High Court has cleared the way for him to fly to the UK to pursue his master’s degree at the University of Aberdeen.
It has been a turbulent month for the politician.
On June 4, a request to waive his passport surrender condition backfired drastically when Justice Halimah El-Alawa Abdul-Bassit realized Abronye had never actually handed the passport in, leading to his immediate remand.
After swiftly correcting the mistake and spending a few days facing the reality of his legal situation, Abronye’s bail was restored on June 8. Now, the court has shown a degree of leniency, allowing him to travel, but with a very short leash. He must be back in Ghana and hand his passport back to the registry by June 30, 2026.
The 44-year-old firebrand is fighting serious charges of offensive conduct and publishing false news after allegedly calling an Adenta Circuit Court judge a “politician” who covered their hair with a “sack.” While his academic journey continues, his legal battles back home are far from over.
