The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to stage a demonstration on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, in protest against what it calls state-sponsored harassment by the Ghana Police Service.
The announcement was made by the party’s National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha, in a Facebook post on Friday, September 12. The decision comes in the wake of the remand of Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, who was ordered by an Accra Circuit Court to remain in police custody for two weeks to allow prosecutors to continue investigations.
Abronye was first arrested on Monday, September 8, over what police described as “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.” He has been in custody since.

In his post, Mustapha stated: “Tuesday, 23rd September, the National Youth Wing will organise a demo against the state-sponsored police harassment. From Obra Spot to police headquarters. 6 a.m. sharp!”
The protest comes amid wider concerns within the party, as Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, is currently under investigation for alleged fraud, financial loss to the state, and money laundering. Other party members have also reportedly been arrested in separate cases.
According to the youth wing, the planned demonstration is expected to attract a large turnout of supporters, as the NPP vows to resist what it sees as politically motivated actions by state institutions.
