The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is before the Criminal Investigations Department at the Police Headquarters in Accra for questioning.
His appearance on Monday, May 26, 2025, follows a failed attempt by a combined team of National Security operatives and police officers to arrest him at his residence last Friday, May 23.
Chairman Wontumi was accompanied by his legal counsel, former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, and the former Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi.
Details of the questioning remain unclear, as the Ghana Police Service has yet to officially comment on the nature of the probe. However, sources suggest it may be linked to ongoing investigations related to recent political developments. Wontumi’s legal team is expected to address the media following the engagement with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
The development has sparked public interest, particularly after videos surfaced online showing heavily armed personnel surrounding his residence in what supporters described as a politically motivated attempt to intimidate the outspoken party figure.-–Source: Citifmonline.com
