Joyce Bawah Mogtari, Aide to President , has responded to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's concerns over the arrest and detention of Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the (NPP).

In a social media post on Wednesday, 28 May 2025, Joyce Bawah Mogtari emphasised the need for consistent application of justice and due process for all Ghanaians, regardless of political affiliation.

Dr Bawumia, earlier on Wednesday, issued a statement expressing deep concern over Wontumi's arrest by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), highlighting the vagueness of the charges and the unknown whereabouts of the detained NPP chairman.

Bawumia urged EOCO and relevant state institutions to adhere to the rule of law and respect Wontumi's constitutional rights, warning that any deviation risks undermining public trust in Ghana's justice system.
