NPP Youth Wing To Protest Against ‘Police Harassment’ Sept. 23

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it will stage a demonstration on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, to protest against what it described as ‘state-sponsored harassment’ by the Ghana Police Service against its members.

National Youth Organiser of the party, Salam Mustapha, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Friday, September 12, said the decision to embark on the protest follows the remand of Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, into National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) custody for a week.

The NPP Bono Regional Chairman has been charged with ‘offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace’ and publication of false news, and will reappear in court on September 19, 2025.

But Salam Mustapha, in reaction said, “Tuesday, 23rd September, the National Youth Wing will organise a demo against the state-sponsored police harassment. From Obra Spot to police headquarters. 6 a.m. sharp!”

Meanwhile, the party has also cited several of such arrests, including the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, who is under investigation for alleged fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

Other party affiliates have reportedly been arrested in separate cases since the National Democratic Congress (NDC) assumed the reins of power.

Speaking at a party gathering at Asokwa in the Ashanti Region last week, former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, also accused the ruling NDC of using state power to harass and intimidate members of the opposition party.

The youth wing of the NPP believes the demonstration will draw strong support from party members nationwide, vowing to resist what it sees as politically motivated actions by state authorities.
