Background

Online news portal, hotfmghana.com on Monday, February 14, reported that Abronye DC had alleged that former President John Dramani Mahama was conniving with Al Qaeda to stage a coup in Ghana .

This caught the attention of the Accra Regional Police Command who invited him to assist with investigations on Tuesday, February 15 at 4pm.

The police in a subsequent statement detailed that preliminary investigations into the claims made by Abronye DC were untrue.

He was thus slapped with two counts of publication of false news and offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace.

Abronye was subsequently detained and will be arraigned before the court on Wednesday, February 16.
