The Member of for Effia, Isaac Boamah-Nyarko, has clarified that neither the Minority Caucus in nor the (NPP) opposed the Economic and Organised Crime Office's (EOCO) invitation of Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
According to him, the party's only concern was what they described as the "harsh and excessive" bail conditions imposed on Wontumi.
Chairman Wontumi was arrested and detained by EOCO on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, after leaving the CID headquarters.
He was taken in for further questioning over alleged involvement in illegal mining activities, including operations in forest reserves without proper authorisation.
