A leading member of the Movement for Change, Hopeson Adorye has been arrested by the Police for comments relating to the 2016 elections. The former NPP firebrand claimed he detonated dynamites in the Volta Region during the 2016 elections.
Mr Adorye made the comments during an interview on Accra FM on May 10 where he disclosed that he had been part of a group of NPP functionaries tasked to detonate dynamites in the Volta Region. He said the motive was to scare and put fear in voters in the region, a stronghold of the NDC.
According to Hopeson Adorye, the act helped the NPP win the 2016 elections.
He is currently in the custody of the police assisting in investigations. Sources close to the case say he will appear before the court on Thursday.
