The Acting CEO of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), Kwadwo Twum Boafo, has stated that the public outcry surrounding the invitation and subsequent detention of NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, is "exaggerated." Speaking on Pan African TV, Twum Boafo recounted his own experiences and those of fellow NDC appointees during the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration in 2017, drawing a stark contrast.

He pointed out that while NDC officials faced similar EOCO invitations and home ransacking, their cases proceeded silently and without media razzmatazz. "My home was ransacked.

My father's home was ransacked, even my younger brothers' homes were ransacked," he said.

He specifically mentioned Kojo Bonsu, Governor Richardson, and Alex Mould, all of the NDC, as examples.
