Director of Special Operations for the Movement for Change, Hopeson Adorye, has described his recent arrest and subsequent court appearance as a blessing in disguise, stating that it has provided him with significant political mileage.

After being granted bail by the Dansoman Circuit Court on Thursday, May 23, for charges related to publishing false news, Adorye released a viral video expressing his perspective.

He mentioned that his fame had increased as a result of the arrest.

“I am doing fine. In fact, I was so happy, What happened yesterday, [Thursday] it will take someone 25 to 30 years to get this glory. You are the one who thinks it was the other way around. It gave me a political mileage and it will take someone 30 years to get such a mileage.

“In fact, the whole world was discussing me,” he added.

Hopeson Adorye, a prominent figure in the Movement for Change, was granted bail at GH¢20,000 with two sureties by the Dansoman court.

His arrest stemmed from claims made on an Accra-based radio station, which subsequently went viral, alleging that dynamites were detonated in the Volta Region during the 2016 General Elections.
