Independent Presidential Candidate and leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, Alan Kyerematen, has paid a visit to Hopeson Adorye, who is currently in custody.
Adorye was apprehended and held at the Ministries Police Station on Wednesday, May 22, 2024.
His arrest followed an alleged confession about detonating a dynamite in the Volta Region during the 2016 general elections.
Former Adentan MP, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, has characterized the arrest as politically motivated.
Kyerematen was joined by Boniface Abubakari Saddique, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah, Kofi Kapito, Alhaji Haruna Tafsiru Warlord, Ken Kuranchie, and other members of the Movement for Change.
Speaking after the visit, Buaben Asamoa stated that the accusations against Adorye are baseless and unjust.
“Hopeson Adorye is not fleeing from Ghana or his home because the police plan to charge him with disseminating false information. Detaining him all day at the police station and then at the Ministries suggests political motives and is unfair,” he remarked.
Adorye’s arrest followed an interview on Accra FM on May 10, where he claimed involvement in a plot to detonate a dynamite in the Volta Region to intimidate voters in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) stronghold, aiding a New Patriotic Party (NPP) victory.
He allegedly said, “Before the elections, we detonated dynamite in parts of the Volta Region, which scared many people. After casting my ballot in Tema, I went to the Volta Region and found out that fewer people turned out to vote.”
