It has been revealed that the former vice president and 2024 NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is coordinating efforts to secure bail for Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
Speaking to Citi News, Divine Agorhom, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the NPP, stated, “It is not only His Excellency Dr Mahamudu Bawumia but every senior party person. We are hoping that the EOCO itself will be able to vary the condition a bit more lenient for us to meet”.
He indicated, “If that is not the case, my understanding is that the council is considering legal avenues to vary the conditions. If all that fails, then we will have to pull resources and see what we can do to get him out.
“Not only His Excellency the Former Vice President, but all leading members, including our caucus in parliament and the national leadership. They are all involved in finding a solution.”
Chairman Wontumi was arrested by EOCO following a visit to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters on Tuesday, May 27, shortly after leaving the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Accra.
He was granted bail of GH₵50 million with two sureties on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, however, his legal team on Wednesday had not fully satisfied the conditions required to secure his release.
According to the information gathered, Chairman Wontumi has secured one surety but needs one more to meet full bail conditions.
