NPP National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, has criticised what he describes as a dangerous return to the "dark days" of political oppression following the arrest of the party's Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Speaking to journalists outside the EOCO Headquarters in Accra, where Wontumi is currently being held, he expressed deep concern over what he called "a Rambo-style arrest" by heavily armed and masked security personnel. "We are law-abiding.

We are ready to cooperate with any investigative body.

But what we will resist is political harassment - and that is what we are witnessing," he said.
