Ghanaian NPP Youth Activist Arrested Amidst Political Tensions

Accra, Ghana – May 23, 2025 – A wave of political tension swept through Accra this morning following the arrest of Ababio Kumi, a prominent NPP youth activist and former Adenta parliamentary candidate. Kumi was apprehended at his home and taken to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) office in Kawukudi. The reasons behind the arrest remain shrouded in mystery. However, sources suggest a possible link to a petition Kumi submitted to President Nana Akufo-Addo, calling for the dissolution of the committee investigating the Chief Justice's removal. Channel One News reporter Charles Owusu Kumi, who spoke exclusively to our team, stated, "The arrest is raising eyebrows, and the lack of clarity surrounding the charges is fueling speculation." Kumi's petition, which has gained traction among certain political circles, alleges that the committee investigating the Chief Justice is compromised. The situation remains fluid, with many awaiting further clarification from the authorities. This event underscores the heightened political climate in Ghana and the ongoing debate surrounding the Chief Justice's removal.
