A law lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua, has criticised the Minority in Parliament for what he described as an overly dramatic protest against the continued detention of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The protest followed Wontumi's arrest by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Tuesday, May 27.
Chairman Wontumi was initially detained by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the police before EOCO also held him over other allegations.
Although he was granted bail in the sum of GH¢50 million on Wednesday, May 28, with conditions including two verified sureties, his release has been delayed due to a pending High Court application seeking to review the bail terms.
