The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is expected to hold Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), for a second night after he failed to meet the bail requirements for his release.
EOCO is investigating the businessman and politician in connection with financial transactions involving the Ghana Export-Import (EXIM) Bank.
Chairman Wontumi was granted GH₵50 million bail on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with two sureties required to support the amount.
However, as of Wednesday night, his legal team had not fully met the requirements for his release.
