First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor, has advised the Minority in Parliament to seek legal redress in court over the continued detention of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
Chairman Wontumi, who serves as the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is currently in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) following his arrest on charges related to fraud, money laundering, and organised crime.
The arrest was confirmed by the Attorney General's Department.
The Minority, protesting what they describe as unfair treatment and political bias, staged a walkout in Parliament and later organized a sit-down protest at EOCO's headquarters on Thursday, May 29, 2025.
