The leading member of the Movement for Change and husband of Ghanaian Gospel Musician, Hopeson Adorye has been arrested by the Ghana Police.
Hopeson Adorye was arrested by the Police over his claim that he detonated dynamites in the Volta Region during the 2016 General Elections.
Mr Adorye made the claim during a radio interview in Accra which has since gone viral.
In the interview, Mr Adorye, who was an NPP member but now serves as the director of special duties for Alan Kyerematen’s Movement for Change, explained that the dynamite explosions were intended to intimidate voters in the opposition stronghold of the Volta Region.
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 is quoted to have said.
He is currently in custody, and according to sources, will appear before court to explain himself.
