Wontumi honours CID invitation following botched arrest

by Francis Kobena Tandoh

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, appeared before the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) at the Police Headquarters in Accra on Monday for questioning.

His appearance follows a failed attempt by a combined team of National Security operatives and police officers to arrest him at his residence in Kumasi last Friday, May 23.

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP was accompanied to the CID headquarters by his legal counsel, former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, and Andy Appiah-Kubi, former Member of Parliament for Asante-Akim North.

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. Enditem
