The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is set to appear before the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service in Accra today, Monday, May 26, 2025.
This follows a dramatic attempt by a joint team of National Security operatives and police officers to arrest him at his residence in Kumasi on Friday, May 23, 2025.
The operation, which saw heavily armed security personnel surround Wontumi's home at Paraku Estate, sparked a tense standoff as NPP supporters gathered in large numbers to protest what they described as intimidation.
The crowd condemned the presence of armed officers, and the situation was defused only after senior party officials intervened.
