Founder and leader of the Movement for Change, John Alan kwadwo Kyerematen has visited a leading member of the Movement for Change, Hopeson Yao Adorye at the ministries police station in Accra to lend his support.

The Presidential candidate on Thursday morning visited Hopeson Adorye who was initially invited by the Accra Police command for questioning was later arrested by the police and refused bail.

This was disclosed by the Personal assistant to Alan Kyeremanten, Nana Yaw Sarpong who spoke in an interview on UTV’s 'Adekye Nsoroma' on Thursday, May 23.

“No one informed Hopeson he was going to be arrested. He was going about his duties with some members of the Movement for Change when he received a call from the Police that he is needed for questioning at the Police District office. He went there and was told to wait for some orders above,” he narrated.

Nana Yaw Sarpong added that, Hospeson Adorye was to be transferred to Accra Central where they believed the questioning was going to be done but to their utmost surprise, he was not interrogated at the Accra Central Police Command but was rather taken to the Ministries.  

The member of the Movement for Change, who was a former stalwart of the ruling New Patriotic Party, was arrested over his statement of a detonation of dynamite in the Volta region to deter voters during the 2016 General elections.

Hopeson Adorye was picked up after he spoke on Accra FM on May 10, where he confessed to being part of a plot that detonated dynamite in the Volta Region to scare voters in the stronghold of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to favour the NPP.

“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 said.

The movement fir Change leader was accompanied by the former national Orgainsier of the NPP, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, Abubakari Saddique, ken Kuranchie amongst others.
