Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyire constituency, Frank Annoh Dompreh, has claimed that Mr Antwi Boasiako, the NPP's Ashanti Regional Chairman, has refused to eat in protest against his detention conditions, describing the supposed hunger strike as a desperate measure amid what he terms "shocking" treatment by EOCO officials.
His comments come after the Minority caucus, along with NPP supporters, protested at the EOCO office on Thursday, to demand a review of the bail conditions and the immediate release of Chairman Wontumi, who has been in custody for over 48 hours.
The NPP members claimed that the GH₵50 million bail sum is excessive and unfair and insisted they were going to remain at the EOCO headquarters until Wontumi was released, although they eventually left the scene after three hours.
Speaking to JoyNews, Mr Dompreh expressed shock at the bail conditions imposed and criticised EOCO officials for allegedly denying legal counsel access to Mr Antwi Boasiako. "Considering the bail conditions and the conduct of the EOCO officials-especially their refusal to grant us access-it is shocking.
