The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is expected to report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service today, Monday, May 26, 2025.
His appearance follows a failed attempt by a combined team of National Security and police officers to arrest him at his residence last Friday, May 23.
The operation, which drew a heavy security presence to his home, quickly sparked outrage among NPP supporters who gathered in large numbers to protest what they described as an intimidation tactic.
While the exact motive for the attempted arrest remains unclear, Wontumi reportedly assured the officers during the standoff that he would voluntarily present himself to the authorities today.
