Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to respect the constitutional rights of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Wontumi.
Wontumi was arrested by the EOCO yesterday, after he responded to an invitation by the Police CID, and so far, his whereabouts is unknown.
In a statement, Dr Bawumia acknowledged that ''no one is above the law" in a democratic set environment, but also added that no individual's right should be trampled upon, and thus, called for the rights of Wontumi to be respected.
He expressed concern over the continuous detention of Wontumi by EOCO without clear charges, as well as his whereabouts.
