The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is currently investigating allegations of financial crimes, including fraud and money laundering, against Chairman Wontumi.

During an interview on Tuesday, June 10, on Channel One TV, Dr Ayew Afriye claimed that President Mahama might be behind Wontumi's legal troubles. "For Chairman Wontumi's case, we're going to beg.

The hand behind this is bigger than the people who run EOCO and the intelligence agencies.
