Independent Presidential Candidate and leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change, Mr Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen visited Hopeson Adorye who was arrested by the Police.
Mr Adorye was apprehended and detained at the Ministries Police Station on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, for a comment he made during a radio interview.
The rationale behind his arrest was on the grounds of allegedly confessing to detonating dynamite in the Volta Region in the heat of the 2016 general elections.
Meanwhile, the former Member of Parliament for Adentan, Yaw Buaben Asamoa described Mr Adorye’s arrest as politically motivated.
Alan Kyerematen was accompanied by Boniface Abubakari Saddique, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Kofi Kapito, Alhaji Haruna Tafsiru Warlord, Ken Kuranchie, and other members of the Movement for Change.
Speaking after the visit, Buaben Asamoa disclosed that the allegations against Hopeson 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,” he said.
Hopeson Adorye’s arrest follows an interview he granted Accra FM on May 10 in which he claimed he was part of a team that detonated dynamite in the Volta Region to intimidate voters in the stronghold of the NDC.
“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,” he allegedly said,
