The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will remain in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over the weekend, according to reports.

His anticipated release on Friday was stalled by a last-minute application for a variation of his bail conditions filed at the High Court.

Chairman Wontumi's legal team, led by lawyer Andy Appiah-Kubi, had submitted property documents through Bryan Acheampong, the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, to satisfy the GH¢50 million bail bond imposed by EOCO.

Reports indicate that Bryan Acheampong's title documents were valued above the required threshold.
