Hopeson Adorye’s arrest, which occurred on Wednesday, May 22, follows revelations made during an interview.
In the interview, Adorye, formerly affiliated with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and now serving as the director of special duties for Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change, claimed participation in a scheme aimed at using dynamite explosions to intimidate voters in the National Democratic Congress stronghold.
