Legal counsel for embattled Ashanti Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Chairman Wontumi, has confirmed that his client has been hospitalised.
This was after his arrest and interrogation by state security officers.
Speaking to reporters after hours of legal and police proceedings, lawyer and NPP Member of Parliament, Andy Appiah-Kubi, revealed that Wontumi fell ill during the interrogation process and was subsequently transferred to a hospital for medical attention. "My client has been taken to the hospital for medical treatment," he disclosed. "We haven't finished with the interrogation, so we will come back to continue - hopefully tomorrow, if his condition improves.
Otherwise, he will remain there until doctors discharge him." The dramatic turn of events follows the arrest of Chairman Wontumi under what NPP leaders have described as "intimidatory" circumstances.
