His arrest was on the back of an interview he granted on Accra FM on May 10, 2024, in which he claimed to be part of an orchestration that detonated a dynamite in the Volta Region to intimidate voters in the stronghold of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to pave the way for a New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win power.
“Before the elections, we blasted dynamite in parts of the Volta Region, and that scared several 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 stated.
According to reports, the Dansoman Circuit Court during sitting on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, discharged Hopeson Adorye following a decision by prosecutors to discontinue the case.
“Dansoman Circuit Court has discharged Hopeson Adorye from NPP government malicious prosecution for over a year. May God bless Mahama’s government for discontinuing this baseless case. Thank you Lord,” Hopeson Adorye posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, following the decision of the court.
