THE FULL GIST of Hopeson Adorye arrest and bail

On Wednesday, May 22, 2023, Hopeson Adorye, a leading figure in the Movement for Change was arrested after admitting to detonating dynamite in the Volta Region during the 2016 elections to favour the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He was however granted bail on Thursday, May 23, 2024 by the Dansoman District Court, set at GH¢20,000 with two sureties, of which one must be justified.

Earlier, the Movement for Change leader, Alan Kyerematen, visited Hopeson Adorye in police custody.

He came in the company of Boniface Abubakari Saddique, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, Kofi Kapito, Alhaji Haruna Tafsiru Warlord, Ken Kuranchie, and other members of the Movement for Change.

After the visit, Buaben Asamoa told the media that “Hopeson Adorye is not about to run away from Ghana or from his home because the police intend to charge him with the publication of false information. So to go to the extent of keeping him all day in the police station and bringing him over to the Ministries to detain him, you point fingers backwards at yourself that there is something political at play and it is not fair”.

A key member of the Movement for Change, Nana Ohene Ntow on his part added, “He was put before the Dansoman District Court this [Thursday] morning and was charged with publication of false news. He has been granted bail and has been taken to the Ministries Police Station with our lawyers to secure his release.”
