Franklin Cudjoe, Founding President of IMANI Africa, has weighed in on the recent controversy surrounding Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, and his inflammatory remarks about Ghana’s Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Cudjoe stated, “Surely if anyone alleges that the IGP is the ‘dumbest and most corrupt’ we have ever had, they must be ready to prove these allegations.” He added that he had listened to and watched the tape in question but could not share it publicly.
Cudjoe’s comments come in the wake of Abronye DC’s arrest and interrogation by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service. The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was invited by the Police following his public accusations against the IGP, which were deemed potentially disruptive to public peace.
The IMANI Africa president expressed understanding of the Police’s decision to invite Abronye, emphasizing the seriousness of such claims and the need for accountability. “I now understand why Abronye DC was invited by the Police,” he wrote.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed that Abronye’s arrest was related to “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace.” He remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
This incident has sparked broader conversations about political rhetoric, freedom of speech, and the responsibilities of public figures in Ghana’s democratic landscape.
