Ace journalist and host of Kokrokoo on Peace FM Kwame Sefa Kayi, has made a bold call for the arrest and investigation of Hopeson Adorye, a former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Adorye's startling assertion that the ruling party resorted to using dynamite to intimidate voters in the Volta Region during the 2016 general elections has sparked controversy.

In a panel discussion on his show on Friday, May 10, 2024, Sefa Kayi challenged Adorye's claims and advocated for his immediate arrest.

"Tweaaa, Kwesi, have you seen dynamite being blasted before? When the Tetteh Quarshie interchange was being constructed, they used dynamite… and when the dynamite was to be set off, they announced it about a week ahead, giving a specific time and date. Those of us living within about a two-kilometer perimeter from the blast could feel the impact," he remarked.

He continued, questioning the feasibility of Adorye's claims, "You can't joke with even the smallest of dynamites, and he's claiming to have set off dynamite. He should be arrested or called to show where he set off the dynamite; where did you get it? Did you buy it? Was it given to you?"

The call for Adorye's arrest came after Kwesi Pratt Jnr., Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, urged security agencies to investigate the recent allegations made by Adorye.

Adorye, who now holds the position of director of special duties for Alan Kyerematen's Movement for Change, made the explosive remarks during an interview on Accra FM. He claimed that the use of dynamite in the Volta Region was a deliberate tactic to scare voters.

"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," Adorye disclosed.

The incident has raised serious questions and prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the matter, with the public and authorities alike awaiting further developments.
