Hopeson Adorye was arrested and detained on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, following his controversial claim that he detonated dynamite in the Volta Region during the 2016 general elections.

Adorye’s arrest stems from an interview he gave to Accra FM on May 10, in which he claimed to have participated in an operation to intimidate voters in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) stronghold to benefit the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He allegedly stated, “Prior to the elections, we blasted dynamite in parts of the Volta Region, and that scared a number of people.

When I finished casting my ballot in Tema, I drove to the Volta Region, and when I asked for the number of people who had voted and the expected number of voters, it turned out people did not come out to vote.”

Alan Kyerematen was accompanied by several notable figures, including Boniface Abubakari Saddique, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Kofi Kapito, Alhaji Haruna Tafsiru Warlord, Ken Kuranchie, and other members of the Movement for Change.

Following the visit, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, former Member of Parliament for Adentan, described the arrest as politically motivated and stated that the allegations against Adorye are false and unfair.

“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,” Asamoa remarked.

The police continue to investigate the matter thoroughly to determine the validity of Adorye’s claims and ensure accountability for any potential illegal activities related to the 2016 elections. The situation is being closely monitored by the public and various political stakeholders.
