Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is still in the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after failing to meet bail conditions.
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.
Reports suggest that the former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, has offered himself as one of the sureties for Wontumi.
The minority in Parliament staged a sit-in outside the headquarters of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra on Thursday, May 29.
The minority caucus demanded the release of Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
