Abronye DC was first arrested on Monday, April 13, following allegations of offensive conduct, false publication, and statements considered likely to incite fear and panic among members of the public.
He was subsequently granted bail pending further investigations.
Authorities have now taken him back into custody as security agencies intensify investigations into the allegations against him.
Meanwhile, officials have yet to provide full details surrounding the latest arrest.
But sources close to the investigations say the case is part of broader efforts by security agencies to curb the spread of alleged false information and inflammatory public commentary that could undermine public peace.
Authorities have also not disclosed whether fresh charges are expected to be filed against the NPP regional chairman.
