Benjamin Gewu-Appiah, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Communications Team, has questioned what he described as selective justice in the handling of arrests and bail applications involving NPP members.
Speaking to the media on Friday, September 12, 2025, Gewu-Appiah was reacting to the decision by the Accra Circuit Court to remand the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, into police custody for an additional week.
“The NDC Government is giving NPP members EOCO bitters. I only pray that when it’s the NDC’s turn, they’ll have the strength to take it,” Gewu-Appiah told pressmen after court.
Gewu-Appiah further cited several instances he said illustrate selective justice. He referenced a case involving an NDC member, Ralph Williams, who reportedly went to Ridge Hospital and attacked nurses, and Kevin Taylor, known for making unlawful and wild allegations, yet continues to enjoy their freedom without interference from law enforcement.
“While our members face constant harassment and denial of bail, individuals from the ruling party commit acts of lawlessness and still move freely,” Gewu-Appiah said, adding that such discrepancies undermine public confidence in the justice system.
The NPP communicator suggested that the current trend of arrests and bail denials targeting its members raises serious concerns about fairness and impartiality within the country’s law enforcement and judicial processes.
He further emphasised that authorities must ensure that justice is applied equally, regardless of political affiliation, to maintain public trust and uphold the rule of law.
